I just received an announcement about vSafe, a new service that Wells Fargo Bank is offering its customers for storing copies of vital records and documents. They are offering 1GB of storage space for $4.95/month.

vSafe is described as “secure online storage for you to safeguard, organize, and access electronic copies of important documents—from birth certificates and immunization records to wills and treasured photos.”

Here is a link with more information.

We at Famundo think this is a GREAT idea.

In fact, we offer a virtually identical product, the Family Vault, as part of Famundo Social suite of applications. AND for a limited time, you can create unlimited Family Vaults, as well as take advantage of all the other offerings of Famundo Social, for only $2.95/month or $29/year with 2GB of storage, or create one vault with our free version.

Keeping a Family's Important Records Safe in a Natural Disaster

The recent California wildfires demonstrate the importance of keeping a family’s vital records in a safe and secure place. Natural disasters can strike at any moment and as a result, a family can loose their important records forever.

Famundo provides a solution for keeping these records safe and secure with the Family Vault.

The Family Vault is a very secure area within Famundo’s Family Library for storing all the documents that are really important, like medical records, birth certificates and banking information. In the event of a disaster, you can rest assured that your data will be safe, secure and always available.

The Famundo Family Vault is more than just online storage. Users can be assured that their documents are encrypted with the same encryption that is used by the US Government for storing classified information, AES 256 encryption.

The password is NEVER stored anywhere in the client or the server computer. Thus in the unlikely event that the server is hacked, the data is still secure. There’s no way for an outsider to break in the vault data WITHOUT the password.

In addition, Famundo has a utility, the Famundo Assistant, which allows users to scan vital records, such as passports, birth certificates, marriage certificates, etc., directly from their scanner into their Family Vault. With the new Famundo Assistant, these vital records never even touch the user’s computer, but are instantly moved to the safe and secure online storage.
