Document sharing: A secure way to share information

Need to share confidential documents with us to open an account, renew a mortgage or manage your savings? There's a quick, easy and secure way to do it thanks to our document sharing feature.

How document sharing works

Setup

If you need to share confidential documents, the person handling your file will create a document sharing zone.

A new sharing zone is created for each request.

Login and notifications

When a document sharing zone is created, you'll receive the login information by email. Whenever the person handling your file shares a document, you'll be notified, and vice versa.

Security

To keep your information secure, only you, the person who created the sharing zone and any authorized colleagues can access it.

Document sharing zones remain open until the expiration date indicated in the zone. After that, any documents in them are deleted.

How to access your document sharing zone

Check your email inbox. You should have received a confirmation email with instructions to log in to the document sharing zone.

Log in from this page

Access your document sharing zone in 3 steps by following this link.

Start

On AccèsD

You can access your document sharing zone from a web browser or the Desjardins mobile services app.

On AccèsD Affaires

You can access a sharing zone on AccèsD Affaires from a web browser only.

Never share your login information

Some information should never be shared, even in a secure environment. This includes:

  • Passwords
  • Answers to security questions
  • PINs (personal identification numbers)

Emailing confidential documents

If you don't have access to a document sharing zone, you can still send confidential information securely by email.

  1. Protect your documents with a password

    Use software like WinZip or 7-Zip to put all your confidential documents in one file and lock it with a password.

  2. Choose a strong password

    Your password must be:

    • Hard to guess
    • Made up of at least 8 characters
    • Unique (different from your other passwords and usernames)
  3. Give the password by a method other than email

    Give the password to the person handling your file over the phone, by text message or in person.
