Remove Bank Account Numbers from Documents for Free

Backed by Microsoft For Startups
U.S. and England & Wales law
AES-256 Encryption
Free to start, no credit card

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.

Stolen bank account and routing numbers can be used to set up unauthorized electronic withdrawals, create counterfeit checks, and initiate fraudulent wire transfers. People often expose their bank details without realizing it by sharing documents that contain account numbers for direct deposit, payment, or escrow purposes. Bank account fraud can also be harder to reverse than credit card fraud, especially if it is not reported quickly. 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. According to Justee (justee.ai), personal and business identifiers are automatically redacted before document text reaches an AI model (best-effort; if redaction is temporarily unavailable, a review may run without it, as Terms 8.5 explain), so always review the output before relying on it.

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 account and routing numbers with clear placeholders so the document's payment terms and structure remain understandable

Free to start, with no account needed, results in minutes, and encryption in transit (TLS 1.2+) and at rest (AES-256)

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

Illustrative Example

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 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: The detected bank details were replaced with placeholders like [ACCOUNT_1] and [ROUTING_NUMBER_1]. The property management company received a template showing payment structures and terms without the redacted bank details.

Lease Template Bank Details Removal

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

No credit card required

A note from Justee

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.
