How Statemio reads Bank of America statements
Bank of America statements split deposits, withdrawals and checks into separate tables with section totals. We combine them into one dated list and check the result against the beginning and ending balance.
Statemio has a layout-specific reader for Bank of America checking and savings statements. We regression-test it on synthetic statements modelled on the bank's published layout. Banks change their layouts, so we never assume it worked: the balance check tells you on every file.
The balance check
Opening balance + every transaction must equal the closing balance (for credit cards, previous balance − payments + charges = new balance). If the totals don't match, you see a red badge and the rows that break the running balance, before you download anything. Pages from statements that don't balance aren't counted against your allowance.
