Large File Transfers for the Financial Industry


Despite many businesses’ need for large file transfers, there are many privacy acts that large file transfersapply to the finance industry, especially in North America. Put in place to provide consumer privacy (and rightly so), they nonetheless add to the workload of members of the financial services industry. Under acts like Gramm Leach Billey, institutions like:

  • Banks
  • Savings and Loan Associations
  • Mortgage Brokers
  • Credit Bureaus
  • Insurance Companies

are required to protect their customer records and restrict their access to only authorized personnel.

Many organizations rely on legacy systems – outdated programs and processes that do the job piecemeal at best – that are often confusing to learn and difficult to use.
