or choose a file. The tool can miss an account number, so you can add it after the file opens.

Stays on your device

Your statement stays on your device or secure network and never touches our servers. The page has no server code. PDF.js and the optional AI model run in your browser.

Read each page

Automatic detection can miss data, such as an account number with no spaces. Read each page before you share the file. Type a missed number in the list of words to hide, or drag a bar over it.

It hides data only

This tool hides data with black bars. Do not use it to change amounts or dates. Your original file does not change, so keep it. The recipient can ask for it.

What to hide

A bank statement can show more than a recipient needs. You can hide these items:

  • Account numbers, routing numbers, sort codes, IBANs and card numbers
  • Your address, email and phone number
  • Payments and transfers that are not part of the request

What to keep visible

Ask the recipient what must stay visible before you hide data. A recipient can ask for your name, the statement dates, the opening and closing balances, or specific deposits. The tool hides dates and addresses at the start, so click a bar to show an item.

When the recipient can require the full statement

A recipient can ask for the full statement, with nothing hidden. We cannot tell you what a lender, a court or another recipient accepts. Ask before you send a redacted copy, and keep your original file.

Read each page before you share

Automatic detection can miss data. For example, it can miss an account number with no spaces. Read each page. Type a missed number in the list of words to hide, or drag a bar over it. The example PDF is a letter, not a statement.

This tool hides data only

Do not use this tool to change amounts or dates. It can only add black bars, and it makes a new PDF from images of your pages.

Where your file stays

Your statement stays on your device or secure network and never touches our servers. To check, open the Network tab in your browser's developer tools while you use the tool. Read our privacy policy for the details. For other documents, use the PDF Redactor.

Frequently asked questions

Can I redact a bank statement for free?

Yes. The tool has no cost, no account, no sign-up and no watermark. You can use it for as many statements as you want.

Does my bank statement go to a server?

No. Your statement stays on your device or secure network and never touches our servers. The browser downloads the code of the page and, if you turn on AI, a language model. These downloads contain no data from your statement.

Will the recipient accept a redacted statement?

We cannot say. Each recipient sets its own rules, and this tool does not check a file against them. Ask the recipient what must stay visible before you send the file. The recipient can ask for the full statement.

Why does the tool not find my account number?

The tool can miss an account number or a routing number, mainly a number with no spaces. Type the number in "Always hide these words and numbers". The tool then puts a bar on the number at each location in the file. Do the same for other data that the tool does not find, and read each page before you share the file.

Can I keep the last four digits of my account number visible?

Yes. Do not add the number to the list of words to hide. If the number has a bar, click the bar to show the number. Then drag a bar over the other digits. Do this at each location of the number in the file.

Why are the dates on my statement hidden?

The tool hides dates at the start. To show all dates, click the "Dates & ages" button. A sort code can look like a date, so this button can also show your sort code. Find the sort code and drag a bar over it. To show one date only, click its bar.

Why does an amount have a black bar?

The tool can read two amounts next to each other as a phone number. Click the bar to show the amounts. The tool does not look for amounts, so most amounts stay visible. To hide an amount or a payment, drag a bar over it.

Can I use this tool to change an amount or a date?

No. This tool hides data, and you must not use it to change amounts or dates. It can only add black bars. It cannot add or edit text. If your statement has an error, ask your bank for a correct statement.

Can someone read the data under a bar?

No. The new PDF has only images of your pages, and the bars are part of those images. The text of the statement is not in the new file. For this reason, no one can select or search the text in the new file. Tell the recipient if this is a problem.

My statement has a password or is a scan. Can I use it?

Remove the password in another PDF program first, because the tool cannot open a file that has a password. A scan has no text that the tool can read, so it finds nothing automatically. Drag a bar over each item on each page.
