A cash transaction record logs a large deposit that an obliged business must scrutinise under the Money Laundering Regulations 2017. anonym.plus removes the customer's name, identifier, and account from an internal copy on your device. The figures stay readable while the private data drops out.
When this applies
A team uses a past form to coach new staff on reporting thresholds. You clean that teaching copy, leaving the live record untouched.
How anonym.plus handles it
- Open the teaching copy in anonym.plus on your device.
- Local OCR reads a scanned deposit slip if one is attached.
- The tool flags the name, NINO, and account number.
- Keep the amount and date for the lesson.
- Swap each identifier for a label.
- Save the clean copy locally.
What you need to provide
- The internal copy of the report (PDF, DOCX, or scan).
- An operator (Replace keeps the figures readable).
- Optional allow-list for the threshold amount.

Limitations & cautions
The retained record must carry full identifiers to meet MLR 2017. Redact only review or training copies. A cleaned sum tied to one date can still narrow down a customer, so weigh what you keep.
Frequently asked questions
May I redact the record before I retain it?
No. The retained record needs full identifiers. Clean only an internal copy used to teach or review threshold handling.
Will the amount survive the pass?
Yes, if you allow-list it. The tool targets names, NINOs, and accounts, so figures needed for a lesson can stay.
Does anything go to the cloud?
No. The desktop app runs locally, so the form and its data never leave your device.
