I know the US is a shitshow right now but please im looking for sensible answers.
I have some documents from a bank that need to be mailed. PDF is not an option and no matter how much i push for a secure email option, they still stick with slow turtle mail.
I live outside the US and this slow mail process has been very frustrating. And not just banks, any other business if you request some form of paperwork, their answer => MAIL.
That is very weird consider to mail the document, they need to type out an electronic version then print and mail it. So why waste too many steps?
And i just discovered today theres a thing called mailforwarding service… Aka you buy a US mailbox, letter gets sent to that mailbox then they help to forward those internationally.
In contrast to when I am in China and Singapore, EVERYTHING is digital. It is so much better that the only thing i carry is my phone.
What if it is robbed and the paper is taken? Do they have a digital backup at all?
A bank should spend the same amount of money on digital security than physical security. I mean, security is the whole point banks exist in the first place and why people trust them.
That’s why you have both, having backups is part of being secure.
There are way more people who can attempt a hack than can attempt to break in.
