Key points
Finalise the bank statement privacy handoff
Open the exact pages selected for the property and confirm that identifying context remains readable without carrying unrelated transactions into the pack. If redaction or cropping makes a page ambiguous, revise the selection before sending.
Useful context
Run a privacy check on bank statements before sending
The final review must preserve ownership, institution and statement period while removing pages that do not serve the confirmed application purpose.
The file check centres on the whole-file privacy decision at final review, after individual upload choices have already been made.
Working checklist
Keep bank statement privacy traceable
Preview every selected page after any privacy treatment.
Do not close the bank statement privacy review while a material field depends on an assumption.
- Account owner: confirm that the visible name identifies the applicant whose statement is being supplied before applying any redaction.
- Institution: compare the entry with the original wording before relying on it.
- Statement period: label the relevant period clearly so bank statement privacy cannot be read against the wrong dates.
- Selected pages: identify the reviewed file or version used for bank statement privacy.
- Redaction boundary: decide the exact columns or transactions to hide before creating the sharing copy.

Archive the bank statement privacy result with the exact file or message that supports it.
Practical example
Run a privacy check on bank statements before sending: worked example
A three-page statement contains the requested summary on page one and unrelated spending on later pages. The renter keeps the identifying context around page one and checks the preview rather than assuming a cropped image remains understandable.
