## What the Bank Statement OCR API does

Bank Statement OCR turns a statement document into structured data: account details, individual transactions with dates, descriptions and amounts, and running balances, aggregated across all pages.

This is the raw material for income and affordability assessment. Every bank formats statements differently, and normalising them into one shape is what makes automated underwriting possible at all.

## Where teams use the Bank Statement OCR API

1.  Assessing income and affordability for a loan
    
2.  Extracting salary credits to verify declared income
    
3.  Building cash-flow views for small business lending
    
4.  Replacing manual statement review in underwriting
    

## Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Which formats does it handle?

Statement layouts vary considerably by bank, and extraction covers the common ones. Digitally generated PDFs read more reliably than photographs of printed statements.

Does it analyse the transactions?

It extracts them. Bank Statement Analyzer takes that further with financial insights and risk indicators.

Are password-protected statements supported?

Remove protection before upload. Many banks issue statements locked with a PAN or date-of-birth derived password.
