Paying-in slip redaction takes personal data out of a counter deposit record. UK GDPR and the DPA 2018 limit how a bank shares holder information. anonym.plus marks each field on your machine, so the totals stay readable while the holder data is shielded.
When this applies
A counter slip shows the depositor, the receiving number, and the cash and cheque totals. You must hide those before the form reaches an auditor.
How anonym.plus handles it
- Open the document in anonym.plus on your device.
- Local OCR reads the handwritten or printed fields.
- It flags the depositor, the number, and amounts.
- Confirm the flags and keep the branch and date codes.
- Apply Mask to the number and personal fields.
- Save the clean copy locally.
What you need to provide
- The deposit form (image scan or PDF).
- An operator: Replace, Redact, or Mask.
- Optional batch for a counter drawer's stubs.

Limitations & cautions
Handwriting on the document strains OCR, so a misread digit can survive. Check the number and amount fields after the pass before you release the copy.
Frequently asked questions
Can the tool handle a handwritten deposit form?
Yes. Local OCR reads handwriting where it can. Always verify the number and amount fields on a low-quality scan.
Should I mask or fully remove the deposit number?
Mask leaves the last four digits for matching. Use Redact for full removal when the copy needs true anonymity.
Is the slip uploaded for processing?
No. The app is fully offline, so the record stays on your machine.
