PDF bank statement tampering detector — FAQ
- Is the PDF bank statement tampering detector free?
- Yes — it is completely free, with no signup, no email, no credit card and no paywall. Upload a PDF bank statement and you get the result immediately in your browser. Many online statement checkers make you register or pay before they show a verdict; ScrutiBank does not.
- Do I need to create an account or sign up?
- No. The tampering check runs without any account, login or email address. For unlimited checks that never upload your file, the free ScrutiBank desktop app runs the same engine entirely on your own computer.
- What kinds of bank statement tampering can it detect?
- It looks for structural and content tells of editing: figures drawn in a mismatched font (a number typed over the original), document metadata that names two different tools (a file re-saved through an editor), annotations or text boxes layered on the page, image-only or re-scanned files with no genuine text layer, and extra save generations. Where the bank applied a digital signature, it cryptographically verifies it.
- Is my bank statement kept private?
- The online demo uploads your file only to run the check, processes it in the EU, and deletes it straight after — only an anonymised result is retained. If you prefer that nothing ever leaves your computer, the ScrutiBank desktop app runs the identical check 100% on-device.
- Does a flag mean the statement is definitely forged?
- No. The detector is conservative by design: it flags indicators that warrant review, never a definitive verdict of forgery, because some banks legitimately use general-purpose PDF tools. Treat a flag as a reason to corroborate the document directly with the issuing bank.
- Does it work on bank statements from any bank?
- Yes. The check is bank-agnostic and works on PDF statements from any bank or country, provided you upload the original digital PDF your bank issued (not a photo or screenshot).
- What else can ScrutiBank do besides detect tampering?
- This page demonstrates only the authenticity (tampering) check. The full ScrutiBank desktop app also automatically categorises every transaction, generates custom forensic reports, and traces money flow across multiple accounts — all locally on your device. Your first 200 transactions are free, with no subscription.
