Meet Regulatory Requirements
Banking is a heavily regulated industry because of all the sensitive data and assets involved. According to the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act, financial institutions must protect critical customer data to protect their privacy. Banks must ensure safeguarded transmissions whenever customer information or sensitive data is involved. Some information must be encrypted before it is transmitted online. Cloud faxing allows banks to meet these high cybersecurity standards to avoid costly fines and data breaches.
Your customers need to trust your bank.
A data breach could mean expensive fines, angry customers and a harmed reputation. For the sake of the people you serve, you need up-to-date solutions that offer the most security.
Online fax transmissions are more secure and difficult to hack than email due to their encrypted nature. They are more secure than traditional fax machines because they don’t require printing and scanning paper documents.
Provide reliable information faster.
For most banks, time is of the essence when it comes to communication. You need to offer instant alerts and confirmations to keep up with today’s customer expectations. Compliance requirements often require certain notifications to be delivered regarding many of your financial services. Other digital alternatives (like email) don’t offer the security or data record required by law.
Because bankers handle sensitive information every day, they must protect client information. Safeguarding information requires investing in efficient and reliable faxing technology. With eFax, our clients know they can access top industry tools with the best online faxing solution available.

Why Use Secure Online Faxing?
Banks have been responsible for filing, organizing and sending sensitive financial client data for decades. Expectations for on-demand information have made it even more critical for banks to keep up with modern communication tools. eFax offers a variety of essential features for today’s banking services.
Some of the most common documents sent via bank fax include:
| Business Licenses | Mortgage Documents | Loan Agreements |
| Business Loan Applications | Stock Transfer Confirmations | EIN Documents |
| Tax Information | Collection Notices | Credit Documents |
Automated Data Archiving
With cloud-based faxing, banks can also rest assured that crucial documents are backed up offsite. eFax saves all faxed documents on a secure cloud server, protecting it in the case of an outage or disaster. The unlimited storage allows banks to simplify their recovery efforts and protect valuable information.
Fax Tracking and Receipts
It’s essential to know your information goes to the correct account and isn’t blocked or lost along the way. While emails can often end up in spam folders and mail can get lost in transit, electronic faxes are highly reliable and secure. Electronic fax allows you to track communications and ensure quick delivery. Receipts provided upon delivery make it possible to know if your documents or files were received.
Reduced Resource Waste
Electronic faxing provides a solution that lowers the amount of time and supplies wasted in the process. Not only will a faster faxing process save you time, but you will also save on paper, ink and bulky machines. Reducing your carbon footprint with less paper waste is a green initiative that is good for the environment and something you can proudly share with your customers.
Avoid Rekeying Data
With traditional faxing and paperwork, information often has to be rekeyed into your system for electronic storage. Digital file transformation is a time-consuming process that can be entirely avoided with online faxing. You can receive digital files in their original format or take a picture of a physical paper to “scan” it for your fax.
Simplifying Electronic Signatures
Online faxing makes it possible to sign important documents without printing or scanning them. eFax allows you to sign documents from your account by drawing or saving your unique signature. Whenever you need to sign a document, you can use eFax to add your saved signature to the right line quickly.
