What is Pipefile Affiliate Program?

Pipefile is a document collection and management tool designed to simplify how businesses gather sensitive information from clients, customers, or employees. Rather than chasing people through email or managing scattered files, Pipefile provides a structured way to request, receive, and organise documents like identification, financial records, contracts, and compliance paperwork. The platform works on a freemium model, making it accessible to small teams while offering paid plans for larger operations. It's particularly useful for accountants, financial advisers, legal firms, and businesses that regularly need to collect and store sensitive information securely.
