Frequently Asked Questions

What is credit card extraction?

Credit card extraction is the process of automatically converting PDF or image-based credit card statements into structured data (CSV, Excel, JSON). Instead of manually typing each transaction, AI reads your statement and exports all transactions with dates, merchants, amounts, and categories in seconds. This eliminates 15-30 minutes of manual data entry per statement and reduces errors from 10-15% (human typing) to under 1% (AI extraction).

How accurate is credit card statement extraction?

Our AI achieves 99%+ accuracy using a dual-engine approach: GPT-4 Vision for intelligent pattern recognition and AWS Textract for precise OCR. This enterprise-grade technology combines bank-level security with universal compatibility—working across 60+ banks without requiring templates or custom configurations. Independent testing shows our extraction accuracy significantly exceeds manual data entry (which typically has 10-15% error rates due to typos and misreads). For the rare cases where extraction needs review, we highlight uncertain fields for quick verification before export.

Which banks are supported for credit card extraction?

We support 60+ banks including all major US and Canadian institutions: Chase, American Express, Capital One, Bank of America, Citi, Wells Fargo, Discover, TD Bank, RBC, BMO, Scotiabank, CIBC, and more. Our AI doesn't rely on templates - it intelligently adapts to any statement format, including business cards, prepaid cards, and regional credit unions. See our complete list of supported banks.

How long does credit card extraction take?

Extraction takes 2-5 seconds on average, regardless of statement length. A typical 3-page statement with 50+ transactions processes in under 3 seconds. Multi-page statements (up to 50 pages) take 5-10 seconds. This is 200x faster than manual entry, which takes 15-30 minutes per statement. Processing time includes AI analysis, data validation, and category detection - your data is ready to download immediately after upload.

Is my financial data secure during credit card extraction?

Yes. We use bank-grade security: 256-bit TLS 1.3 encryption during upload, AES-256 encryption at rest, and SOC 2 Type II compliance. Your statements are processed in isolated containers and automatically deleted after 30 days (or immediately upon request). We never store your raw PDF files - only the extracted transaction data you choose to save. Our infrastructure is GDPR compliant and undergoes quarterly security audits. Read our full security and privacy policy.

How does the QuickBooks integration work?

PRO
Our premium QuickBooks integration allows for a seamless, one-click workflow. After extracting your statement data, simply click 'Send to QuickBooks.' We automatically format the transactions and upload them directly into your QuickBooks Online account as categorized expenses, ready for reconciliation. This eliminates the need for CSV imports and manual mapping, saving an additional 10-15 minutes per statement. Available on Pro and Enterprise plans.

Can I extract data from password-protected PDF statements?

Yes! Many banks send password-protected PDFs for security (often using last 4 digits of your card or your birthdate). Our system handles encrypted PDFs automatically - just upload the file and enter the password when prompted. The password is used only to decrypt the PDF temporarily during processing and is never stored. This feature is available on all plans at no extra cost.
