Bank Statement Parsing FAQs

We’d be happy to answer any additional questions. Please book a demo with our team to get more information.

What is bank statement parsing?

Bank statement parsing, also known as bank statement extraction, is a technological process that extracts and organizes relevant data from bank statements into a structured format. The goal of bank statement parsing is to save time, reduce human error, increase processing efficiency, and improve data accuracy in account onboarding, loan processing, underwriting, and identity verification workflows.

This process involves utilizing natural language processing (NLP) and machine learning algorithms to identify crucial information such as account holder information, current balance, transactions, credit access lines, and more. The extracted data is then categorized and stored in a systematic manner, allowing for efficient searching, analysis, and management.

At Sensible, our AI-powered platform provides robust bank statement parsing capabilities that are customizable, accurate, and fast.

Why is bank statement parsing important for fintech workflows?

Parsing bank statements is crucial as it allows financial advisors, investment analysts, loan officers, and underwriters to quickly access, analyze, and use important data about an account’s current balance, transaction history, and expenditure patterns. Manual extraction can be time-consuming and error-prone. Using an automated extraction tool like Sensible ensures speed and accuracy, saving time and effort for other important tasks.

How do I build a bank statement parser?

Building a bank statement parser involves multiple steps, often requiring specialized technical knowledge. Here is a high-level overview of the process:

Document Upload: Implement a feature that allows users to upload their bank statements in various formats such as DOCX, PDF, or TXT.

Text Extraction: Use a text extraction tool or library to read and extract text from the uploaded bank statements. This process may involve Optical Character Recognition (OCR) for scanned documents or images.‍

Text Cleaning: Once the text is extracted, clean it by removing unnecessary spaces, symbols, and formatting to ensure better parsing.‍

Keyword Identification: Identify relevant keywords that correspond to the data you want to extract from bank statements, such as account holder, balance, debts, transactions, and more.

Natural Language Processing (NLP): Apply NLP techniques to understand the context around these keywords. This helps to accurately extract and categorize data.‍

Information Extraction: Based on the identified keywords and their context, extract the necessary information and structure it in a useful format like JSON or CSV.‍

Validation and Testing: Validate the extracted information to ensure its accuracy. This involves testing the parser with various types of bank statements and improving it as necessary.

While these steps provide a basic outline, building a bank statement parser from scratch can be complex and time-consuming. That's where Sensible comes in.

Sensible offers an efficient and reliable solution for parsing bank statements. It's powered by AI, uses natural language processing, and provides a simple to integrate API. All you need to do is upload your documents and describe the data you need, and Sensible will extract it for you instantly.
