CUES and DigitalMailer Partner to Bring Secure, Online Document Storage to 7,000 Industry Executives and Their Credit Unions

My Virtual StrongBox™ service to be included in CUES Membership benefits

MADISON, WI and HERNDON, VA (July 22, 2013) –– In a joint effort to stress the importance of secure personal document storage, the Credit Union Executives Society (CUES) is partnering with DigitalMailer to promote the firm’s My Virtual StrongBox. As part of the arrangement, CUES will provide the service as a free member benefit to its 7,000 executive and staff members. And if those members want to add the service to their credit unions’ product suites as a benefit to their own members, CUES will offer it at a discounted price.

My Virtual StrongBox is an online safe deposit box for personal documents and files. It was created by DigitalMailer to address consumers’ growing need for a safe place to store electronic copies of wills, birth and marriage certificates, insurance policies, tax documents, deeds, titles, and other items that would be sorely missed if lost or destroyed. The partnership gives each CUES member 25 MB in DigitalMailer’s secure, proprietary, cloud-based data center, with the option to purchase more space if needed. CUES members will also be able to access their personal documents through DigitalMailer’s mobile iPad app. The new benefit will take effect in September.

“We’re pleased to offer My Virtual StrongBox as a benefit of CUES Membership,” said CUES’ President/CEO Chuck Fagan. “DigitalMailer’s history of providing innovative, secure solutions and top-notch service fits perfectly with our commitment to improve the lives of our members.

According to Ron Daly, President/CEO of DigitalMailer, the new CUES partnership is well-timed.

“The need for secure, online storage has never been greater,” said Daly. “The huge amount of digital information being generated every day and the number of natural disasters that have occurred in the past few years, are causing consumers to realize they need a truly secure online storage option for their personal documents.” Daly believes the financial industry, and particularly credit unions, is well-positioned to be the trusted provider of such services.

“Credit unions continue to have a strong reputation among members as highly trustworthy institutions, so who better to keep these documents safe for them?”

“This will be a tremendous value to our members,” explained Fagan. “They are constantly looking for new opportunities to exceed the expectations of their own members, and we believe My Virtual StrongBox is an organic fit for them. They will be able to try it out for themselves and experience its value, then decide if it’s a fit for the members at their credit unions.”

“This service provides a critical backup for people’s most valuable documents,” said Daly. “As more consumers seek a way to safeguard their papers, credit unions, along with industry organizations like CUES, are stepping up and providing them.”
