Intranet
An intranet is a private internal website used by employees to access documents, forms, communication tools, and updates. It serves as the central hub for day-to-day operations across an organization.
In banks and credit unions, intranets play a critical role in maintaining compliance, streamlining internal processes, and supporting secure communication between departments and branches. They're built for staff - not the public.
What Makes a Bank or Credit Union Intranet Different?
Unlike public websites, intranets are only accessible to employees. A financial institution's intranet may include policies, training materials, loan procedures, IT forms, and compliance documentation - everything needed to operate effectively and stay audit-ready.
Common Intranet Features
- Secure login and access control
- Document management and version control
- Staff directories and department pages
- Automated forms and workflow routing
- News posts, alerts, blogs, and policy tracking
Why It Matters
A well-structured intranet helps employees find what they need quickly, reduces email clutter, and ensures critical policies and procedures are always up to date and accessible. It's one of the most important tools a financial institution can use internally.
