# BankTxn
> BankTxn converts PDF bank and credit-card statements into clean Excel, CSV, or tab-delimited spreadsheets using an AI agent that reads the statement and extracts every transaction.

## What it does
- Accepts uploaded PDF bank or credit-card statements (digital exports or scanned paper).
- Extracts statement text server-side with `pdftotext`, falling back to OCR (`tesseract` with deskew/despeckle preprocessing) for image-only scans.
- Masks card numbers, account numbers, routing numbers, and SSN/SIN before any data is sent to an AI provider.
- Sends the masked text to Anthropic Claude to identify each transaction (date, description, amount, type, category).
- Lets the user review, edit, and export the result as `.xlsx`, `.csv`, or `.txt`.
- Supports combining several statements into one spreadsheet for paid users.

## Who it is for
- Bookkeepers, accountants, and small-business owners who receive bank statements as PDFs and need them in a spreadsheet.
- Individuals reconciling personal finance data across multiple cards or accounts.
- Anyone who has tried to copy-paste transactions out of a statement PDF and given up.

## Pricing
- Free tier: 3 statements per account, single-file upload, no combined export.
- Credit packs (one-time purchase): pay-as-you-go credits, multi-file upload, combined export.
- Annual subscription: up to 1200 statements per year, multi-file upload, combined export.
- Canadian customers are billed in CAD with Stripe Tax (GST/HST/PST/QST). Other customers are billed in USD.
- A statement that fails to parse automatically returns the credit to the user's balance.
