How to send it
- Upload the PDFs or scan the paper on fastfax.app.
- Add a cover page with the loan officer or department, and your loan or account reference in the subject. Use only the last 4 digits of account numbers.
- Type the fax number. Confirm it with your loan officer by phone or on the bank's official site, not from an unexpected email.
- Send and keep the confirmation PDF.
Protect yourself
Scammers sometimes send fake requests for documents. Before you fax an ID, a Social Security number or a bank statement, confirm the fax number through a number you already trust. Once sent, a fax prints at the other end, so it can't be called back.
Files you upload to FastFax are sent over HTTPS and the faxed file is deleted from our system after 7 days (or right away with Delete my file now). The confirmation PDF with page images is kept for one year in your account.
