Overdraft notice redaction is the removal of personal data from a negative-balance letter. GLBA (15 U.S.C. §6802) limits how a bank shares nonpublic client information. anonym.plus marks each field on your device, so the fee message stays readable while the holder data is shielded.
When this applies
Such a letter names the holder, the account, and the shortfall. You must mask those before the message goes to a trainer or reviewer.
How anonym.plus handles it
- Open the letter in anonym.plus on your device.
- Local OCR reads a scanned, mailed page.
- The tool flags the holder, account, and amounts.
- Confirm the flags and keep the fee schedule text.
- Swap or black out the confirmed fields.
- Save the clean copy locally.
What you need to provide
- The letter (PDF, DOCX, or scan).
- An operator (Replace keeps the text readable).
- Optional batch for a mailing run.

Limitations & cautions
A fee letter often repeats the account and amount in several places, so one missed line can re-link the holder. Check the whole page after the pass before you share it.
Frequently asked questions
Can I keep the fee schedule text?
Yes. Allow-list the standard fee language so it stays while the holder and account data are removed.
Does the tool read a scanned letter?
Yes. Local OCR reads the mailed page, then flags the account and amount fields.
Is the letter uploaded?
No. The app works offline, so it stays on your device.
