Why PDFs Are The Global Standard

All banks provide PDFs, few support direct connections

Banks and payment platforms worldwide favor PDFs for long-term availability, security, and complete data. Badbank AI turns them into perfect accounting data in seconds.

OFX Direct Connect Limitations

  • Only 5% of banks worldwide support OFX
  • Only 15% of US banks support OFX
  • Third-party bank connections pose significant security risks to businesses
  • OFX data provides no refinement — it's simply the bad-bank-data delivered via another format
  • OFX connections are not visible to users, making them difficult to manage and debug
  • Generally limited to just 90 days of history
  • OFX data does not map to specific monthly statements causing reconciliation issues
  • Non-unique transaction IDs cause duplicates and drops
  • US small business use of accounting software has declined from 85% to 68% in the past year*

Banks like Apple Card (Goldman Sachs) provide PDFs only, recognizing their security and completeness.

Badbank AI - PDF Advantages

  • Works with all banks worldwide, not just the 5% supporting OFX
  • PDFs are transparent and easily managed by users, unlike hidden OFX connections
  • PDFs are more secure and contain richer information than OFX data formats
  • Access 2+ years of credit card history and 7+ years of checking history
  • Power users can process multiple groups of up to 48 PDFs simultaneously for fast, efficient management
  • Payment platform statements, Amazon, Costco receipts and other source documentation are easily converted to PDF for import
  • Pre-reconciles transactions to statement balances for zero errors
  • Standardizes vendor names for perfect rule matching in accounting software
  • Enables the 43-45% of small businesses using spreadsheets to process their financial data easily*
  • Provides legally valid source documentation required for audit trails and financial recordkeeping

Example: "AMZN Mktp US*RT8KL9P2N" becomes simply "Amazon" for flawless categorization.

Optional Features for Simplicity

Dramatically Reduce Transaction Volume

Our advanced renaming and aggregation features let you simplify your data. Map vendors to categories like "Supplies" or "Personal" and combine similar transactions for cleaner books.

Two-Step Vendor Processing

Step 1: AI Vendor Identification

AMZN Mktp US*ZX6VU5K72 → Amazon

Step 2: Optional Category Mapping

Amazon → Supplies

Transaction Aggregation

Combine multiple transactions from the same vendor into a single monthly entry.

Before: 15 individual Starbucks transactions
