A source of funds document proves where a customer's money came from, as MLR 2017 (as amended) expects for risk review. anonym.plus removes names, identifiers, and account data from it on your device. The fund-origin logic stays clear while the private data is shielded.
When this applies
A team uses a past file to coach staff on what evidence to ask for. You clean that sample so the lesson keeps the logic, not the customer.
How anonym.plus handles it
- Open the file in anonym.plus on your device.
- Local OCR reads scanned bank letters in it.
- The tool flags names, identifiers, and account data.
- Keep the fund-origin reasoning for the lesson.
- Swap each identifier for a label.
- Save the clean sample locally.
What you need to provide
- The source-of-funds record (PDF, DOCX, or scan).
- An operator (Replace keeps the reasoning readable).
- Optional batch for several samples.

Limitations & cautions
The obliged firm must keep the original for the MLR retention period. Clean only a training or review copy. A rare asset sale tied to a year can still hint at one customer, so review what stays.
Frequently asked questions
Can I redact the original I retain under MLR 2017?
No. Keep it for the retention period. Redaction makes a safe sample for training or review.
Are cross-border bank letters handled?
Yes. The tool covers 48 languages, so foreign letters are flagged consistently.
Is the file uploaded?
No. The app is offline, so wealth records stay on your device.
