Why do banks still ask for fax?

Every time I deal with a bank, they ask me to fax documents. Why won't they just accept email or cloud uploads like everyone else?

I asked the same question when my bank refused emailed documents. Later I learned that fax fits their compliance and security rules better. Articles on tech4blog.com explained this clearly, without complicated terms. Based on my experience, fax may feel outdated, but for banks it reduces risks and speeds up approvals when sensitive data is involved.
