Traditional bank, modern workflows
Farmers & Merchants Bank moved 300+ employees to browser-based PDF editing with Google Drive. The result: 100% efficiency gains without compromising security.
PDF tools built for Google Workspace
After moving to Google Workspace, F&M needed PDF editing that worked in the browser. Their existing software required uploading documents, editing offline, then downloading and reuploading to Drive. With 300+ employees, they needed something better.
Native Google Drive integration with bank-grade security
Lumin kept documents where F&M's security controls already lived: in Google Drive. No moving files or creating new repositories. IP restrictions and domain isolation met financial compliance without rebuilding their infrastructure.
300+ employees onboarded in days, not weeks
Staff installed Lumin and it synced with Google immediately. No lengthy training sessions or complicated setup. Real-time PDF collaboration replaced the old upload-edit-download cycle across the entire bank.
You're in good company
