What personal information gets redacted?

Account numbers, sort codes, routing numbers, IBANs, BIC/SWIFTs, full names, postal addresses and postcodes, phone numbers, email addresses, and national ID or tax reference numbers. All transaction data — dates, descriptions, amounts, and balances — is preserved.

Will the transaction data still be readable?

Yes. The redaction keeps every transaction line intact — dates, merchant names, amounts, and running balance are untouched. Only the identifying information is removed.

What format does the redacted file download in?

The redacted statement downloads as a PDF file with all PII replaced by solid black bars (████████). The transaction table structure is preserved.

When do I need to redact a bank statement?

Common reasons: sharing with a landlord to prove income while protecting your account number; submitting to a loan officer; sharing with a solicitor or accountant; or providing proof of funds to an immigration authority.

Is my bank statement stored on your servers?

No. Your file is processed in memory and discarded immediately after redaction — never written to disk or stored.

Does it work with statements from any bank?

Yes — any bank worldwide. The AI reads the visual layout so it works with Chase, Barclays, HSBC, Deutsche Bank, and thousands of others, in any language.

Can I redact a scanned or photographed statement?

Yes. Upload a JPG or PNG photo and the AI will read it using Gemini Vision, identify the PII, and return the redacted text.

Why manual redaction isn't enough

Blacking out fields in a PDF editor is error-prone — you might miss an account number in the footer, a name in the header, or an IBAN buried in the transaction details.

Our AI scans the entire document layout and catches every piece ofPIIregardless of where it appears — headers, footers, margins, or inline with transactions.

Why redacting your bank statement matters

Every bank statement contains sensitive PII:account numbers,full names, andaddresses. Sharing an unredacted statement with a landlord, employer, or lender exposes you to identity theft and unauthorized account access.

Privacy regulations like GDPR, CCPA, and POPIA require data minimization — share only what is needed and nothing more. Redacting a bank statement before sending it to a third party is consistent with these principles. For businesses handling client financial documents, automated redaction reduces compliance risk.

Unlike manual redaction — where you black out fields in a PDF editor and risk missing a field — our tool usesGemini Vision AIto scan the entire document and identify every piece of PII regardless of where it appears. The original file is discarded immediately after processing.
