Income verification redaction is the removal of pay and banking data from a proof-of-income bundle. UK GDPR and the DPA 2018 set how a lender may handle such data. anonym.plus marks each item locally, so the earnings record stays usable while the protected fields go.
When this applies
A bundle gathers payslips, a P60, and bank pages full of raw figures. You strip those before the proof reaches a broker or a model.
How anonym.plus handles it
- Open the bundle in anonym.plus on your device.
- Local OCR reads scanned payslips and tax forms.
- The tool flags NI numbers, sort codes, and figures.
- Keep the gross-pay totals you must verify.
- Swap or black out the confirmed items.
- Save the clean copy locally.
What you need to provide
- The bundle (PDF, scan, or DOCX).
- An operator (Mask suits partial number display).
- Optional batch for many payslip pages.

Limitations & cautions
OCR on faint payslips can miss a digit. Verify the flags on image pages so no full sort code or NI number slips through. An employer name plus a figure can still narrow identity.
Frequently asked questions
Can it redact a scanned payslip?
Yes. Local OCR reads the image first, then flags the NI number, sort code, and figures so you can mask them before sharing.
Will the verified gross pay survive?
Yes. Allow-list the gross total you must check, while the sort code and NI number are masked.
Does the bundle leave my machine?
No. The desktop app works offline, so the earnings proof stays internal.
