Black out an IBAN or account number on a bank statement
Hide your account details before you share a statement, without uploading it.
When you share a bank statement, for a rent application, an expense claim, or proof of payment, you rarely need to reveal your full IBAN or account number. This tool blacks it out and removes it on export, all in your browser, so the statement is never uploaded.

Why black out an IBAN on your device
A visible IBAN lets others set up payments referencing your account. Redacting it in the browser means the statement with your account details is never uploaded to a server.
