Review-ready output

Structured data you can check before using.

Extracting transactions from bank statements is more than copying text. A useful result needs dates, descriptions, debit and credit amounts, and balances separated into dependable fields while statement summaries and page noise stay out of the table.

RasterLift creates a review workspace for each PDF. You can inspect the structured rows, correct recognition issues, resolve flagged values, and only then export the transaction data to CSV or Excel.

Core transaction fields

Organize transaction dates, descriptions, money in, money out, and balances into consistent columns.

Review against the source

Compare extracted rows with a private, read-only view of the original statement.

Correct before download

Edit recognition errors and resolve review flags before creating the final file.

Individual or batch export

Download one statement or selected completed statements as CSV, Excel, or packaged files.

Inspect the field mapping

Verify how statement text becomes transaction data.

A flat text dump is not enough. RasterLift separates each transaction into named fields and keeps uncertain values available for human review before export.

Named transaction fields

Dates, descriptions, money out, money in, and balances have distinct places in the transaction model.

Money-direction separation

Debit and credit values remain distinguishable instead of being inferred later from an unstructured amount string.

Balance context

Available running balances stay attached to their rows so the sequence can be compared with the statement.

Review provenance

The source page and review state provide context for fields that need confirmation or correction.

Practical workflows

Turn statement tables into fields a reviewer can verify.

Extraction is most useful when every value has a clear place in the transaction model and uncertain rows remain visible instead of disappearing into a flat text dump.

Field normalization

Separate transaction dates, descriptions, money in, money out, and balances into consistent columns across the statement.

Balance tracing

Keep available balance values beside their transaction rows so reviewers can compare the extracted sequence with the source pages.

Exception review

Surface incomplete or low-confidence values for correction before the transaction set is exported to CSV or Excel.
