Send financial PDFs that only the right eyes can open
Finance and banking work moves on PDFs, from term sheets and audit reports to compliance documents you can't leave exposed. WeTransfer lets you lock any transfer behind a password before it goes out, so recipients face a prompt the moment they open your link and can't reach a single page until they enter the correct code.
Keep your files private
Sensitive financial documents deserve more than a link anyone can forward. When you add a password to a PDF transfer on WeTransfer, the gate is built into the transfer itself, so the file stays completely inaccessible until your recipient clears the prompt you set. The password is never included in the notification email, which means you choose a separate, secure channel to pass it on, keeping it out of the same thread as the files. Once the password clears, recipients can read through the PDF directly in the browser before deciding to download, which is useful when reviewers need to verify a document without saving it to their device. You can update, replace, or remove the password at any time from your Transfers panel, with no need to re-upload anything.

FAQs
All your questions answered.
When you upload your PDF in the transfer window, you will find a password field in the transfer options before you hit send. Type in your chosen password there, complete the transfer as normal, and every recipient who opens your link will be prompted to enter it before any file is visible or downloadable. The password is not included in the transfer notification email, so you share it through a separate channel of your choice, such as a phone call or secure message.
Password protection is available on every plan, including the free tier, so there is no upgrade required to start locking your financial PDFs. You simply set the password in the transfer window before sending, and it applies immediately. If you later need features like custom expiry, per-transfer branding, or the ability to restrict access to a named list of email addresses, those are available on paid plans.
Yes. Go to your Transfers panel, open the relevant transfer, and you can set a new password, replace the existing one, or remove it entirely, all without re-uploading the file. Changes take effect immediately, so if you need to rotate credentials on a sensitive document, such as a board pack or due diligence report, you can do that on the spot and then share the updated password with your recipients directly.
No account is required to download a transfer. Your recipient clicks the link, enters the password you shared with them, and can access the PDF straight away. This makes it straightforward to send protected documents to external parties in banking or finance, such as auditors, legal counsel, or institutional clients, without asking them to register for anything first.
Yes. On top of password protection, you can enable restricted access to limit downloads to a specific list of email addresses. With both controls active, a recipient must both know the password and match one of the approved email addresses before the transfer opens. For documents like credit agreements, regulatory filings, or M&A materials where you need to be certain about who is getting in, combining the two gives you a meaningful second layer of control.
