Bank Statement Paste Stop Card

Use with Do Not Paste Bank Statements Into AI.

What this is not

Not a banking security audit. Not permission to share credentials with “AI coaches.” Not financial advice.

Hard paste bans (consumer AI)

• Full statement PDF / CSV / OFX / screenshot
• Account, IBAN, routing, card, or PIN data
• OTPs, password exports, session URLs
• Tax IDs, passport/ID images, check photos
• Wire instructions or payment QR codes

Lower-data alternatives, only on an approved path

• Exact tool/account and purpose approved; no credentials or full statement uploaded
• Minimum retyped fields required for the task (merchant/category | amount | date), recognizing that transaction combinations may still be identifying or sensitive
• Category labels instead of employer/landlord names when possible
• One question per paste; minimum rows required

Before upload urge

1. Can I answer with 10 typed lines? Y / N
2. If no, can I minimize and redact locally, then re-check whether the remaining pattern is still identifying? Y / N (redaction is not guaranteed anonymization)
3. If still no, use the bank’s controlled channel or an appropriately qualified professional’s approved secure portal instead of a consumer AI upload: [ ]

After any finance prompt

• No account numbers in the chat
• Chat does not contain enough residual digits + name to re-identify the account
• I will not grant a browser extension live bank access for “insights”

If I already uploaded a statement or secret

• Recorded the exact tool/account, file or fields, time, and any sharing link
• Used the provider’s current privacy/security reporting route and preserved relevant evidence
• Contacted the bank promptly if account, card, credential, or transaction security may be affected
• Revoked or rotated exposed credentials/tokens and followed bank advice on freezes, replacement, alerts, and monitoring; deleting the chat alone is not an undo
