Bank statement analyzer

Analyze any bank statement, in about ten seconds.

Drop in a statement PDF and Sortlumo's analyzer categorizes every transaction, checks for recurring charges and fees, and hands you a clean spreadsheet — with no bank linking and no credentials shared.

What it analyzes

Six things a spreadsheet won't tell you on its own.

Spending by category

Every transaction sorted into 22 categories, so you can see — in one glance — what dining, groceries, transport, and subscriptions actually cost you each month.

Recurring charges

The analyzer flags anything billing on a monthly, quarterly, or annual cadence and annualizes it, surfacing the subscriptions quietly draining the account.

Fees & interest

Maintenance fees, overdraft and NSF charges, foreign-transaction fees, and interest are isolated so the most reversible dollars on the statement are easy to spot.

Merchant clean-up

Cryptic strings are decoded: SQ*TARTINE becomes Tartine Bakery, AMZN MKTP US becomes Amazon — so the analysis reads in plain English.

Income & transfers

Deposits, payroll, and inter-account transfers are separated from real spending, so your net cash flow for the period is accurate.

Multi-statement trends

Upload several months and the analyzer merges them, so you can watch categories rise and fall instead of reading one statement in isolation.

Categorized, not just extracted

A breakdown you can actually read.

Most converters stop at rows in a grid. A real analysis groups your spending, names the merchants, and shows the shape of the month — so the statement answers a question instead of just holding data.

Recurring-charge check

The subscriptions hiding in the noise.

The analyzer watches for charges that repeat on a calendar cadence and annualizes them, so a $9.99 line you skimmed past becomes a $120/year decision. More on the method in finding forgotten subscriptions.

FAQ

Bank statement analyzer questions.

What is a bank statement analyzer?

A bank statement analyzer reads a statement PDF and turns the raw transaction list into something you can actually use — categorized spending, flagged recurring charges, isolated fees, and a clean export. Sortlumo does all of that from an uploaded PDF, without connecting to your bank.

Is the bank statement analyzer free?

Yes, to start. Sortlumo analyzes up to 3 statements a month for free, with paid plans at $5.75 and $11.58/mo for higher volume, multiple accounts, and unlimited analysis.

Does it work as a bank statement checker for accuracy?

It reconciles the transaction table against the statement's own totals and surfaces fees, duplicate-looking charges, and recurring items — the checks most people do by hand — so you can verify a statement quickly. It is not a fraud-detection or forensic-audit tool.

Which banks does the analyzer support?

Any text-based statement PDF works, regardless of issuer. There are step-by-step guides for Chase, Bank of America, American Express, Capital One, Wells Fargo, Citi, and more on the converter page.

Do I have to link my bank account to analyze statements?

No. That's the core difference from tools like Rocket Money or Monarch. Sortlumo works entirely from statement PDFs you upload — your banking credentials never enter the picture, and your file stays encrypted in your account.
