Why bank-statement pattern analysis matters
Bank statements reveal recurring behaviour and exceptions — salary credits, monthly subscriptions, rent payments, or suspicious spikes. Manually extracting this takes hours. AI makes it scalable and auditable: banks, lenders, and small businesses can make decisions backed by transaction-level evidence.
How AI converts raw text into insights
- OCR & Extraction: PDFs or scans are converted into raw text while preserving line breaks and layout hints.
- Parsing: Regex, heuristics, and small ML models map text lines into date/description/amount/balance fields.
- Normalization: Amount formats, date formats and currency variations get standardized.
- Classification: NLP models and rule-based classifiers tag transactions (rent, salary, groceries).
- Pattern Detection: Time-series and clustering algorithms surface recurring payments, seasonality and anomalies.
Real-world use cases
- Underwriting & lending: Instant creditworthiness checks using income/expense patterns.
- Accounting automation: Auto-bookkeeping by mapping bank lines to ledger categories.
- Personal finance: Spending insights and subscription management for end-users.
- Compliance: Transaction-level monitoring for AML & KYC reviews.
