From raw PDF to structured data in under 10 seconds.
→
Upload the PDF
Drag and drop any bank statement PDF, digital or scanned, single page or multi-page, one file or a bulk batch.
→
OCR reads every row
AI detects transaction tables, header rows, and balance lines across any bank layout. Every field is extracted, date, description, debit, credit, balance.
→
Balances reconciled
Extracted transaction totals are automatically checked against the statement's opening and closing balances. Discrepancies are flagged before export.
Export to your system
Download to Excel or CSV, import directly into QuickBooks (QBO) or Xero, or push structured JSON via API to any downstream system.

How “reconciled” is defined
For every extracted statement, DocuClipper computes the sum of all extracted transactions and compares it to the printed closing balance minus opening balance. A statement reconciles when the delta is zero. Any statement that does not is flagged for review, so a missed transaction never slips quietly into your books.
