Remove Bank Account Numbers from Documents for Free

Backed by Microsoft For Startups
Guided by Grayver Law Group
AES-256 Encryption
Free during early access

Justee helps you remove bank account numbers from documents before sharing them with anyone. Bank account numbers and routing numbers are among the most dangerous pieces of personal information to leave in a shared document. With these numbers, a criminal can initiate unauthorized transfers, set up fraudulent direct debits, or use your account for money laundering. Yet bank details appear in contracts, lease agreements, employment forms, and direct deposit authorizations that people share every day.

Free and no sign-up required.

The Federal Trade Commission warns that bank account and routing number theft is a growing form of financial fraud, with criminals using stolen numbers to set up unauthorized electronic withdrawals, create counterfeit checks, and initiate fraudulent wire transfers. The FTC reports that consumers often unknowingly expose their bank details by sharing documents that contain account numbers for direct deposit, payment, or escrow purposes. Unlike credit card fraud, which typically offers zero-liability protection, bank account fraud can be more difficult to reverse and may result in permanent financial loss. Justee helps individuals protect their financial information by automatically detecting bank account numbers, routing numbers, and other financial data in documents. Each instance is replaced with a semantic placeholder, and files are AES-256 encrypted and deleted immediately after the user downloads the redacted version.

What We Redact

Specifically targets bank account numbers and routing numbers that are the most financially dangerous data to expose

Catches financial data in payment sections, direct deposit forms, escrow instructions, and other easily overlooked areas

Also detects over 30 other personal data types so your SSN, address, and name are protected alongside your bank info

Replaces financial details with clear placeholders so the document's payment terms and structure remain understandable

Free and instant with no account needed and AES-256 encryption protecting your financial data during the entire process

Risks of Sharing Unredacted Documents

Exposed bank account numbers can be used to set up unauthorized electronic withdrawals draining your account directly

Routing numbers paired with account numbers give criminals everything needed to create counterfeit checks in your name

Bank fraud from stolen account numbers can be harder to reverse than credit card fraud and may cause permanent loss

Documents like lease agreements and employment contracts routinely contain bank details that people forget to remove

A single shared document with your bank details can enable repeated fraudulent transactions over months before detection

Hypothetical Case Study by Justee

A landlord needed to share a lease template with a property management company but the document contained his personal bank account for rent collection, his mortgage payment routing details, and the security deposit escrow account number. The lease template was a 20-page PDF with three separate bank account references: rent collection, mortgage auto-pay, and the security deposit escrow account, each with full account and routing numbers.

Issue Found: Justee detected all three bank account numbers and their corresponding routing numbers, plus the landlord's SSN and home address that appeared in the owner identification section of the lease.

Resolution: All financial data was replaced with placeholders like [ACCOUNT_NUMBER] and [ROUTING_NUMBER]. The property management company received a clean template showing payment structures and terms without access to any actual bank details.

Lease Template Bank Details Removal

Why it matters: All bank account numbers, routing numbers, escrow details, SSN, and address were removed. The lease structure and payment terms remain clear for the property management company.

No credit card required

Bank account numbers are uniquely dangerous because they enable direct financial access. Unlike a stolen credit card which can be easily cancelled, fraudulent access to a bank account can result in bounced payments, overdraft fees, and weeks of disruption while the bank investigates. Always remove these numbers before sharing any document.
