Direct deposit form redaction is the removal of bank data from a payroll banking paper, guided by GLBA, 15 U.S.C. §6802. That section limits how financial data is shared. anonym.plus marks account and routing numbers on your device, so the form stays clear while the data goes.
When this applies
A banking paper lists a worker's account and routing numbers in one place. You must shield those before the page moves to a vendor or a shared folder.
How anonym.plus handles it
- Open the banking paper in anonym.plus on your device.
- Local OCR reads a scanned voided check.
- The tool flags account, routing, and card numbers.
- Apply Mask to keep only the last four digits.
- Confirm no full value remains anywhere.
- Save the clean form locally.
What you need to provide
- The banking paper (PDF, DOCX, or scan).
- The Mask operator set to keep the last four digits.
- Optional allow-list for the bank name.

Limitations & cautions
Payroll still needs the full account to pay the worker. Keep your source and redact only a shared copy. The tool masks what it detects; check faint scans before you share.
Frequently asked questions
How much of an account number may remain?
A common practice keeps only the last four digits. anonym.plus masks the rest in one pass across the page.
Can it read a voided check image?
Yes. Local OCR reads the image, then masks the account and routing data. Verify faint scans.
Is the banking paper uploaded?
No. The app is fully offline, so financial data never leaves your device.
