I put in a credit card application for Bilt and they want address and id verification via fax. They really want me to send a fax apparently

Most of my documents are virtual now, and I don't have a fax machine. I see that on Google play there are a variety of apps for sending faxes. Is this a good option to go through? Or should I print stuff and find a library with a fax machine

I would like to suggest that anyone who in the year 2024 insists on you communicating with them by fax can't be trusted and your best solution is therefore to stay away.

May I introduce you to the german government?

Or the American healthcare industry.

Or Japan

This has been an excellent summary. I don't trust any of these.

Most things in the Canadian government can only be transferred by fax or post mail.

Yup. So dumb. I've heard some German institutions are the same.

They will look you dead in the eye and say their IT people say it can't be hacked.
