Bank Statement Redactor

The redactor automatically detects and removes account numbers (8+ digits), sort codes (XX-XX-XX format), full and partial card numbers, IBAN numbers, email addresses, phone numbers, National Insurance numbers, and balance figures. All identified sensitive data is covered with a black box on the page.

Common reasons include sharing statements with landlords for rental applications, providing proof of income to employers, submitting financial documents for visa applications, sending statements to accountants, or sharing financial data for mortgage applications. Redacting sensitive details protects you from identity theft and fraud.

No. Your PDF is processed entirely in memory and never saved to our servers. The redacted PDF is sent straight back to your browser. We do not retain any copies of your bank statement data.

Yes. The redactor works with PDF bank statements from all major UK and international banks including Barclays, HSBC, Lloyds, NatWest, Monzo, Starling, Revolut, Chase, and more. As long as your statement is a text-based PDF (not a scanned image), the redactor will work.

Currently the tool automatically redacts all detected sensitive information. This ensures nothing is accidentally left visible. Review the redacted PDF before sharing it, and check that everything you expected to be covered actually is.

No. Many redaction tools just draw a black rectangle on top of the text, which leaves the original data sitting underneath where anyone can select, copy, or extract it. This tool renders each page to an image, paints the black boxes onto that image, and builds a new PDF from it. The redacted values are not present in the file at all. The trade-off is that text in the output PDF is no longer selectable.

Yes, the redactor is completely free. Upload your bank statement and get a redacted version instantly. No AI processing costs apply as the redaction uses pattern matching, not AI.
