Automate bank statement data entry
Turn PDF and scanned statements into Excel and CSV so your team stops typing transactions and spends time on review instead.
Built to replace manual keying
Manual data entry from bank PDFs is slow and error-prone. When you automate bank statement data entry, structured rows land in Excel or CSV ready for import—so staff review instead of retype.
Use it for monthly books, client packs, multi-account closes, and any workflow where statements only arrive as PDFs or scans.

Instead of typing dates, amounts, and descriptions from PDFs into spreadsheets or accounting software, you upload the statement and get structured rows ready to import or paste—cutting hours of manual entry.
Who benefits most from automated data entry?
Bookkeepers, accountants, small-business finance staff, and anyone who still keys transactions from PDF or paper statements every month.
Does automation replace reconciliation?

Excel and CSV with consistent date, description, debit, credit, and balance columns support imports into books, templates, and tools.
How accurate is automated extraction?
On digital and high-quality scanned statements, accuracy is typically 99%+. Spot-check poor scans and material items before you post.
Is statement data secure when automating entry?
Uploads are encrypted in transit and at rest. Files are processed automatically and deleted after processing. There is no human review of statement contents.
