DocuClipper extracts every transaction from a bank statement PDF or scan, sums deposits and withdrawals, and compares the totals to the statement's declared opening and closing balances. When the math matches, the statement is marked reconciled; when it doesn't, the mismatch is flagged so you can review before exporting.
Three per-account, per-period checks: (1) opening balance + deposits − withdrawals = closing balance, (2) every transaction row has a date, description, and amount, (3) extracted totals align with the statement's summary section. Any check that fails surfaces as a discrepancy on the conversion screen.
Yes. Statements that don't reconcile, where stated balances don't match the sum of transactions, are one of the strongest signals of tampering. The Bank Statement Analyzer surfaces this alongside other fraud signals for lenders and forensic accountants.
Reconciliation is format-agnostic: it runs on any bank or credit-card statement DocuClipper can extract, including PDFs, scans, and image-based statements. The check is math-based (opening + deposits − withdrawals = closing), so it works across US and international banks without per-bank templates.
Yes. Once a statement reconciles, the validated transactions export to QuickBooks Online or Desktop (via QBO file), Xero, Excel/CSV, Sage, and other accounting systems. Exporting only from reconciled statements prevents partial or corrupted data from entering your books.
The UI flags the specific discrepancy, missing line, incorrect amount, or an OCR error, and lets you edit transactions in place until totals match. Nothing exports until you choose to; the reconciliation result is a gate, not a blocker.
It runs automatically on every bank statement extraction. There are no rules, templates, or mappings to configure: DocuClipper uses the statement's own summary section as the source of truth for totals.
