Protect PDF Bank Statements & Financial Docs with Passwords
Sharing bank statements over email or uploading them to third-party portals is risky. Protecting them with a strong password ensures only the intended recipient can view your finances.
Official Requirements & Limits
While most portals are secure, unencrypted PDFs can be intercepted. A password-protected PDF (AES-256) is the industry standard for secure document transit.
