Bank Statement Analysis

AI bank statement analysis that understands context.

Kaaj goes beyond OCR. Our bank statement analysis reads messy PDFs from any bank, classifies revenue, detects transfers and MCA proceeds, tracks NSFs, and adapts to industry context because what counts as revenue depends on the business. In production it is 99.7% accurate at a median of 48.8 seconds per statement.

Methodology: Measured on live lender statements in production (September 2026). Accuracy reconciles Kaaj's parsed dollar totals against the totals printed on each statement; statements flagged for a large discrepancy were manually reviewed by the Kaaj team (most were false positives from the check itself), and 99.7% were parsed without a material error. Median dollar error was $0.00. Latency is the median time to parse one statement end to end.

Context changes classification

The same transaction means different things depending on industry. Zelle might be legitimate revenue for a trucking company but unusual for a restaurant. Kaaj applies industry-aware logic to every line.

Revenue classification

Stripe, Square, ACH, wire: automatically identified, classified, and trended across months.

MCA & loan detection

Funder names, recurring debits, stacking patterns flagged using research-backed data, not static keyword lists.

Transfer identification

Internal transfers, sweeps, owner draws separated from revenue so you see the real picture.

NSF & risk tracking

Non-sufficient funds, overdrafts, and negative balance days: every risk signal tracked and counted.

Cashflow trends

Monthly revenue patterns, average daily balance, and deposit consistency visualized and trended.

Industry-aware logic

Classification adapts to the borrower's industry and business model: trucking, restaurant, retail.

Built for messy statements from any bank

Real deals arrive as broker-forwarded PDFs, phone scans, and multi-account statements from dozens of banks. Kaaj reads them without templates and returns the same cash-flow view every time.

Scanned and low-quality PDFs

Phone scans, rotated pages, and faxed statements are read without templates, then checked against the statement's own balances.

Any bank, one schema

Layouts from national banks, community banks, credit unions, and fintech accounts are normalized into the same revenue, balance, and NSF metrics.

Multi-account and multi-month

3, 6, or 12 months across several accounts are combined, with inter-account transfers removed so revenue is not double counted.

Deposits vs. transfers vs. proceeds

Operating revenue is separated from owner and internal transfers, loan and MCA proceeds, and refunds before any metric is calculated.

Recurring payments and stacking

Recurring MCA remittances, loan payments, and payroll are detected by pattern and funder, surfacing existing debt service and stacking.

Self-checking output

Parsed totals are reconciled to the statement; anything that does not reconcile is routed to an underwriter instead of passing silently.

Kaaj vs. extraction-only tools vs. manual review

Extraction tools turn statements into rows. Underwriters still need those rows turned into lender-grade cash flow. Here is where each approach stops.

How long does Kaaj take to analyze a bank statement?

A median of 48.8 seconds per statement in production. A multi-month, multi-bank package is analyzed in minutes, far faster than a manual spread.

How does Kaaj separate revenue from transfers and loan proceeds?

Every deposit is classified as operating revenue, internal or owner transfer, loan or MCA proceeds, or refund, using the borrower's industry as context. Recurring debits such as MCA remittances, loan payments, and payroll are flagged so existing debt service is visible.

Does Kaaj work for high-volume processing as well as single deals?

Yes. The same workflow runs a single urgent deal or a lender's full pipeline, at a median 48.8 seconds per statement.
