Document Repository

Store, organize, and access policies, procedures, forms, SOPs, and manuals in a centralized, searchable document repository built for banks and credit unions. SimplifyIT ensures everything is secure, versioned, and instantly available to those who need it.

Why Financial Institutions Need a Better Document Hub

  • Disorganized Drives: Scattered folders and files across shared drives waste time and increase risk.
  • Version Confusion: Without tracking, it's unclear what's current or who changed what.
  • No Access Control: Employees often access or edit documents they shouldn't.
  • Compliance Pressure: FDIC and NCUA Examiners expect quick access to finalized, traceable documentation.

How SimplifyIT Handles Document Management

  • Smart Categories: Organize documents in a way that makes sense for your team - by type (policies, SOPs, HR forms, manuals, or training material), role, branch. You can even cross-categorize.
  • Version Control: Track revisions automatically, with restore options and visibility into changes.
  • Role-Based Access: Set permissions by department, role, or even individual users.
  • Instant Search: Instant access to documents and knowledge that people use often.

Built for Banks and Credit Unions

We've worked with financial institutions since 2004. This repository isn't general-purpose-it's designed for NCUA, FDIC, and internal audit readiness. Whether you're preparing for an exam, training staff, or updating procedures, the right document is always at your fingertips.

Connect It All Together

Documents can be linked to policy acknowledgment workflows, referenced in onboarding automation, or embedded in internal announcements. Everything lives in one connected platform.

Common Questions

What types of documents can be stored in the repository?
You can store policies, procedures, forms, manuals, SOPs, training materials, and other internal documents. PDFs, Word files, and common formats are fully supported.
Is the document repository secure and compliant?
Yes. All documents are access-controlled, versioned, and logged for audit readiness. The repository is built with financial institution compliance in mind.
Can we track who viewed or acknowledged a document?
Absolutely. You can require acknowledgment for critical policies and see exactly who read what - and when - for exams or internal audits.
How does search work in the document repository?
Our intelligent search can use full-text indexing, along with a natural language recognition option. Staff can search by title, content, tags, or even related terms.
Can documents be version-controlled?
Yes. Every document update is tracked, and previous versions can be restored or reviewed - so you're never guessing who changed what.
Is the repository easy for non-technical users to manage?
Yes. Departments can upload and organize documents with no IT help. Drag-and-drop folders, smart defaults, and access rules make it easy to manage.
