What is Sortlumo?

A privacy-first way to turn bank and credit-card statement PDFs into categorized spending — no bank linking.

Sortlumo turns bank and credit-card statement PDFs into categorized transactions, forgotten-subscription alerts, and clean Excel exports — without ever asking for your banking login.

Most personal-finance apps ask you to hand over your online-banking credentials so they can pull your transactions. Sortlumo takes the opposite approach: you upload the statement PDFs your bank already gives you, and everything happens from there. Nothing to connect, no credentials to share, no third-party aggregator sitting between you and your bank.

What it does

  • Reads your statement — every line item is parsed, even messy multi-page PDFs.
  • Categorizes automatically — each transaction is sorted into one of 22 spending categories, with merchant names cleaned up (SQ*TARTINE becomes Tartine Bakery).
  • Finds recurring charges — subscriptions and memberships are flagged and annualized so you see what they really cost per year.
  • Tracks multiple accounts — keep checking, savings, and credit cards side by side.
  • Exports to Excel — hand a clean .xlsx to your accountant or drop it into a spreadsheet.

Who it's for

Anyone who wants a calm, honest picture of where their money goes but doesn't want to link their bank — freelancers reconciling expenses, households tracking spending across several cards, or anyone who bounced off Mint, Copilot, or Monarch because of the bank-linking step.

No bank linking, ever

Sortlumo never asks for your online-banking username or password. It only works with the statement PDFs you upload or forward. See Privacy & your data for the full picture.
