Hi! Yes, it’s true. Despite being considered outdated by some, fax machines provide a tangible, auditable transmission method that email often lacks. Regulatory frameworks in finance and law often demand that original signatures or documents be transmitted in a secure, non-editable format. Faxing also avoids the potential cybersecurity risks of cloud and email systems.
