Do I get Excel or CSV?

You get an .xlsx file with each transaction table on its own sheet. For CSV, use PDF to CSV. The JSON has the same rows as arrays.

Does it understand my bank's layout?

It reads the table as printed: date, description, amounts, balance, in the columns your bank uses. It does not rename columns or categorise transactions.

How do I check the result?

Check that the opening balance plus the transactions equals the closing balance. If it does not, a row was misread; the confidence score helps find it.

Is it safe to upload a bank statement?

Files are used only to read them and are not used to train models. See the privacy answer below. If in doubt, redact account numbers first; the transactions still read fine.

What happens to my file?

Files are deleted after 24 hours. We do not train on them.
