Private bank client file redaction is the removal of personal data from a relationship dossier in line with UK MiFIR and FCA COBS. These conduct rules set duties for investment firms. anonym.plus marks each identifier on your device, so the notes stay useful while the data goes.
When this applies
A relationship dossier gathers identity, mandates, and contact history in one place. You trim the personal parts under COBS before a peer review.

- Local OCR reads scanned correspondence pages.
- The tool flags name, IBAN, and contact data.
- Keep the mandate type and risk band intact.
- Swap or black out the marked items.

What you need to provide

Limitations & cautions
A dossier holds rich indirect clues, like a residence and a funds band. The tool flags named items, not every clue. Read the relationship notes before you share it.
Frequently asked questions
What does COBS ask of a relationship file?
It sets conduct and record duties for the firm holding it. The tool removes identity data from a copy you need to circulate.
Can the mandate details stay?
Yes. Allow-list mandate type and risk band. Only personal identifiers are marked for removal.
Is the dossier uploaded?
No. The app is fully offline, so the data stays on your machine.
