Financial data scrubber
Pasting a bank statement, support ticket, or transaction log into an AI assistant can quietly expose account numbers, IBANs, and card details. This scrubber finds those financial identifiers and replaces them with masked placeholders — locally in your browser — so you can keep the useful context and drop the sensitive numbers.
How it works
Paste your text and the tool runs a set of patterns for IBANs, card numbers,
BIC/SWIFT codes, UK sort codes, US routing numbers (matched in context), and
labelled account numbers. Each match becomes a clear token like [IBAN] or
[CARD], and you get a count per type. Account-number detection is deliberately
conservative — it looks for nearby context — so it doesn’t shred every long
number in your text. Nothing is uploaded.
Tips and notes
- Verify the output. Conservative matching means an unlabelled account number can slip through; read the result before you trust it.
- Everything stays local. The scrubbing happens in your browser, so the original financial data never leaves your machine.
- Combine with care. A masked number plus a name and address can still be sensitive together — when unsure, delete the context entirely.
- Pair with other scrubbers. Financial text often carries national IDs too; run the SSN / national ID scrubber on the same text.
