Savings-account record redaction takes personal data out of a passbook-style ledger. UK GDPR and the DPA 2018 limit how a bank shares customer information. anonym.plus marks each field on your machine, so the interest history stays readable while the named party's data is shielded.
When this applies
Such a ledger shows the account owner, the deposit number, and the interest accrual on an ISA. You must hide those before the file leaves the branch.
How anonym.plus handles it
- Open the passbook in anonym.plus on your device.
- Local OCR reads a scanned ledger.
- It flags the saver, the number, and balances.
- Confirm the flags and keep the rate and term data.
- Apply Mask to the number and personal fields.
- Save the clean record locally.
What you need to provide
- The ledger (PDF, scan, or CSV).
- An operator: Replace, Redact, or Mask.
- Optional batch for many files.

Limitations & cautions
A long interest history with a distinct opening balance can narrow down the account owner. When the copy is for analysis, consider removing the balance trail as well as the name.
Frequently asked questions
Can I keep the interest rate and term?
Yes. Allow-list those product details so they stay while the customer and balance data are removed.
Does the tool read a scanned passbook?
Yes. Local OCR reads the ledger lines, then flags the deposit number and balance fields.
Is the file uploaded?
No. The app is fully offline, so the record stays on your device.
