Transfer ownership

With Transfer Ownership, you hand over the entire Swiss21 account with all rights to another user. The process consists of the three steps: Discharge, New Owner, and Identity Verification.

Step-by-step process

1. In the Ownership section, click Transfer Ownership. The wizard opens with step 1 "Discharge".
2. Activate the discharge declaration by ticking the checkbox: you thereby confirm that you are the owner and administrator of the account and wish to transfer all rights unconditionally to a third party.
3. Click Next and in the "New Owner" step, select the desired user from the list (this person must be registered as a user in the portal).
4. Click Next again; in the "Identity Verification" step, click Request Code to have a verification code sent to your registered email address, then enter it in the field.
5. Finally, click Transfer Ownership to complete the transfer.

Benefits

• You can transfer the account when the company changes hands without having to create a new Swiss21 account.
• All rights to applications and data then clearly belong to the new owner, which is legally helpful for accounting and billing purposes.

Notes and tips

• The discharge declaration shown in step 1 is legally binding; check before confirming whether the selected user should indeed become the owner.
• Make sure the current owner's email address is accessible, as the verification code will be sent to that address.
• After a successful transfer, only the new owner can make further changes to the ownership or initiate another transfer.
