Digital delivery with Swiss Post With IncaMail or digital letter

Companies and authorities can now deliver documents completely digitally. Swiss Post offers two key solutions for this:

  • IncaMail for secure and legally binding delivery to an email address
  • Digital letter for digital delivery to a postal address

IncaMail and digital letters - how the solutions complement each other

Many companies and authorities use both solutions in combination , so that every recipient can be reached via the appropriate channel. Both solutions meet the requirements of the Swiss Federal Act on Data Protection (FADP) and the European General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). This means that every recipient can be reached securely and reliably.

IncaMail

IncaMail is the secure email service for confidential and legally valid electronic communication. Every exchange is documented in a tamper-proof protocol and creates audit-proof traceability. IncaMail is recognized as a secure platform in the Swiss eGovernment environment.

 



  • Delivery channel: Encrypted e-mail

 

 

  • Recipient set-up:  The recipient needs a valid email address and can be asked to create a free IncaMail account the first time they receive a message 

     

  • Proof of delivery; time stamp and signature on acceptance, confirmation of delivery, confirmation of non-retrieval (after 7 days)

 

 

 

Digital Letter

The digital letter is the electronic evolution of the traditional letter. Documents are transmitted digitally and can be delivered digitally or by post, depending on the recipient's preferences. This means that recipients can be reached reliably regardless of their level of digitization.

 



  • Delivery channel: Swiss Post digital mailbox or physical letter box 

  • Recipient set-up: None - Switzerland-wide reach, with physical fallback 

 

  • Proof of delivery; time stamp and signature on acceptance, confirmation of delivery and confirmation of acceptance for postal letter, confirmation of non-call-off (after 7 days)
