SVA Basel-Landschaft

What SVA Basel-Landschaft does

SVA Basel-Landschaft is a cantonal public-law institution (öffentliches-rechtliches Unternehmen) of the Canton of Basel-Landschaft, Switzerland, founded in 1995 and headquartered at Hauptstrasse 109 in Binningen. The organization functions as the sole statutory competence center for first-pillar social insurance within the canton, administering the IV-Stelle (disability insurance), the AHV-Ausgleichskasse (old-age and survivors' compensation fund), the Familienausgleichskasse (family allowance fund), the Regionaler Ärztlicher Dienst (RAD, regional medical service), and the cross-cantonal Fachliche Abklärungsstelle beider Basel (FAS). It serves Basel-Landschaft residents, employers, self-employed persons, persons with disabilities, and institutional partners including care homes, physicians, schools, and disability organizations. Mandatory services — including AHV/IV/EO contributions, family allowances, individual premium reductions, supplementary benefits, and earnings replacement — are provided free of charge under Swiss social insurance law.

The technology stack centers on a portfolio of digital portals and certified information-security infrastructure. Core platforms include the Online-Schalter (citizen self-service for address, banking, and life-event notifications), the Connect platform for care-home mutations, the IV-Rechnungsportal (online IV billing launched September 2024), and the federally operated EO-Portal rolling out from February 2026 for military and civil service earnings replacement. The organization holds ISO/IEC 27001:2022 certification for its Information Security Management System, uses self-hosted Matomo for on-premise web analytics with anonymized IPs, exchanges medical documents via HIN-secured email, and routes external medical expert assignments through the SuisseMED@P federal platform. A third-party chatbot (sva-bl.bot.abraxas-apis.ch) handles routine citizen queries, and newsletter distribution runs on rapidmail. The Kontraktmanagement platform hosted by SVA BL unifies contract management for five Northwestern Switzerland IV offices (NWCH).

The business model is non-commercial: as a public-law institution SVA BL collects and administers mandatory AHV/IV/EO contributions from employers and individuals, processes cantonal individual premium reduction subsidies, and manages family allowances funded by a rising employer contribution rate (1.25% to 1.30% from January 2026). Revenue is not publicly disclosed, and operations are funded through administrative cost allocations embedded in statutory contribution flows rather than market-priced services. Go-to-market combines direct-to-citizen channels (walk-in reception, telephone, digital self-service portals, branch offices) with employer-facing services (change reporting, employee health consultation, contribution calculation, international business activity support). Customer segments are functionally diverse but jurisdictionally bounded to a single canton, with regulatory mandates producing effectively universal penetration and no churn exposure.
