What to Look for in an Intranet Platform for Financial Institutions

By SimplifyIT | Published

Banks and Credit Unions Have Unique Needs

You're not a tech company or a university - and your intranet shouldn't be built like one. From strict audit requirements to department-specific workflows, financial institutions require structure, accountability, and clarity.

Policy Acknowledgment Isn't Just a Checkbox

Examiners want documentation. A solid intranet lets you assign policies by department, track acknowledgment, and export reports - all without chasing people by email. See how we do it.

Forms, Not Emails

Modern intranets replace emails with structured forms: change requests, IT tickets, HR workflows. Smart forms keep everything organized and reportable - essential during exams.

Search that Actually Works

Can your staff find the vacation policy in two clicks? A good intranet offers intuitive navigation plus real-time AI-powered search to get them there - no digging through email threads or folders.

Choose a Vendor That Gets It

There's a difference between a software vendor and a financial-institution partner. SimplifyIT has been doing this since 2004 - exclusively for banks and credit unions. See what that experience looks like.

Frequently Asked Questions

What makes an intranet platform financial-institution ready?
Look for built-in features like policy acknowledgment, internal forms, and change tracking - not just file sharing or announcements. A true intranet for FIs knows how to handle audits, compliance, and team structure.
Should we use SharePoint or a purpose-built intranet?
SharePoint is powerful but often overkill. Financial institutions typically want something lighter, easier to maintain, and tailored to banking workflows. A purpose-built intranet reduces setup time and improves usability.
How do we know if an intranet vendor understands banking?
Ask about their experience with examiners, security reviews, and bank-specific use cases. SimplifyIT has been building intranets exclusively for financial institutions since 2004.
