Secure document transfers for finance professionals

Financial documents carry real weight, whether that's contracts, audit reports, term sheets, or client statements you can't afford to send unguarded. WeTransfer lets you lock any transfer behind a password before it leaves your hands, so recipients are stopped at a prompt the moment they open the link and cannot reach a single file until they enter the correct code.

Keep your files private

In finance and banking, controlling who can access a document is as important as delivering it quickly. WeTransfer builds password protection directly into the transfer, so spreadsheets, compliance reports, loan documents, and confidential statements stay gated until your recipient clears the prompt you set. The password is never bundled into the notification email, which means you choose how and when to share it, keeping that layer of control separate from the transfer itself. Recipients with the correct password can preview documents in the browser before downloading, useful for reviewing a multi-page report without saving it to a device. You can set, update, or remove the password on any transfer from your Transfers panel at any time, without touching the original files.

FAQs

All your questions answered.


Yes, and it works on every plan including Free. When uploading any document, such as a compliance report, financial statement, or loan agreement, you fill in the password field in the transfer window before clicking Transfer. Anyone opening the link is shown a password prompt and cannot view or download any file until they enter the correct code.


No. WeTransfer never includes the password in the notification email it sends to recipients. That means you share the password through a separate channel, such as a phone call, a secure messaging platform, or an encrypted email, which keeps the credential independent from the transfer link itself. This is a practical fit for finance workflows where access control and audit separation matter.


Yes. Go to your Transfers panel, open the transfer, and you can set, change, or remove the password at any time without re-uploading any files. If a document needs to be re-circulated to a new recipient, or if you want to revoke access by changing the code, you can do that immediately from the same panel.


Yes. On top of a password, you can enable restricted access, which limits downloads to a specific list of email addresses you define. A recipient has to both enter the correct password and be on your access list before they can reach the files. For highly confidential documents such as deal memoranda or regulatory filings, this gives you two independent layers of control.


No account is needed to download. Clients, auditors, legal counterparties, or regulators can open your link, enter the password, and access the files directly in a browser without signing up for anything. This keeps the process frictionless for recipients while the sender retains full control over access.
