Unlocking the value of your financial archives through secure digital access
PastView, in partnership with History Associates Incorporated (HAI), helps banks and financial institutions digitize, manage, and provide controlled, immersive access to archival records through our PastView platform.
This enables organizations to preserve, explore, and share their history through rich, digital experiences built on structured collections.
Regulatory Compliance
Maintain well-organized archival collections with structured metadata, version control, and full record traceability. Ensure records are securely stored and accessible when required for regulatory review and reporting.
Secure Access & Permissions
Control access to sensitive archival materials with role-based permissions and secure authentication. Ensure the right users can explore collections while protecting confidential information.
Archival Records Management
Digitize, organize, and centralize archival collections into a searchable system. OCR and handwritten text recognition enable full-text search across documents while preserving their original context.
Institutional History & Brand Trust
Present archival collections through rich digital experiences, including interactive timelines, deep zoom imagery, and curated collections that allow audiences to explore history in detail.
Balance compliance, access, and historical insight
Financial institutions operate within strict regulatory frameworks where records must be secure, traceable, and preserved over time. At the same time, they hold extensive archival collections that document their development, governance, and long-term stability.
These records are often dispersed across physical storage, legacy systems, and internal silos, making them difficult to access and manage effectively.
PastView provides a secure, centralized platform designed specifically for archival collections, enabling organizations to protect institutional history while making it accessible, searchable, and usable across the business.
Create a structured, searchable archival system
Financial institutions manage large volumes of archival material, including reports, governance records, photographs, and historical documentation. Without a structured approach, these collections can be difficult to search, interpret, and maintain.
PastView enables organizations to digitize and structure archival collections into a centralized, searchable system designed for long-term preservation. Structured metadata, indexing, and advanced search capabilities ensure that records can be located efficiently while maintaining their context and integrity.
OCR and handwritten text recognition tools unlock information within documents, ensuring that even complex or handwritten materials can be searched and referenced when required.
Maintain audit-ready, traceable records
Regulatory requirements demand that records are complete, accurate, and readily accessible. Without a structured archival framework, retrieving information for audits or regulatory review can be time-consuming and risk-prone.
PastView provides a controlled environment for managing archival records, with clear organization, version control, and full record traceability. Records can be retrieved quickly for audits, regulatory reviews, and governance processes.
Secure access controls ensure that sensitive information is protected while remaining accessible to authorized users.
Provide access to history without compromising control
Financial institutions hold extensive archival collections that reflect their growth, decisions, and long-term stability. These collections must be accessible where appropriate, while remaining governed and secure.
PastView enables organizations to present curated archival collections in a controlled digital environment, combining secure access with engaging user experiences. Features such as deep zoom imagery and interactive document viewers allow users to explore materials in detail without compromising the integrity of the original records.
This ensures that historical content can be shared confidently across internal teams, stakeholders, or public audiences.
Bring institutional history to life through structured timelines
Archival collections are not only preserved for compliance and governance, but can also be used to communicate key milestones and institutional history in a structured and controlled way.
PastView enables financial institutions to present archival records through interactive timelines and curated collections, making it easier to explore key events, developments, and historical context.
For example, HSBC uses PastView to present its global history through an interactive timeline, supporting the celebration of major milestones while maintaining full control over its archival records.
