Snap receipts on your phone — auto-stored, auto-categorised
Take a photo, our OCR extracts vendor, date, VAT and total. Every receipt becomes a row in your bookkeeping table — searchable, sortable, exportable to CSV for your accountant.
How it works
From physical paper to a categorised bookkeeping entry in 10 seconds.
Snap a photo
Open BankConverter on your phone, tap the camera, take a picture of the receipt. Or drag a PDF from email if you already have it.
OCR + parser
Google Vision OCR reads the text, our parser extracts vendor, date, VAT, total, line items, payment method. Handles UK and Polish receipts.
Review & categorise
Confirm the auto-detected fields, assign to a category (Materials, Travel, Utilities, etc.), add a note. The parser remembers your patterns.
Export when ready

A bookkeeping table that you actually keep
Every receipt is a permanent row. Searchable by vendor, date, amount. Filter by category or VAT rate. Bulk-export.

Built for phones, works in any browser
No App Store, no install hoops. Visit the site on your phone, add to home screen — it works offline-capable like a native app.
Add to Home Screen — done
BankConverter is a Progressive Web App (PWA). On your phone, open the site, tap the menu, choose “Add to Home Screen.” You get an app icon. No App Store gatekeeping, no 30% revenue share.
The PWA shell opens the camera directly, captures the receipt, uploads in the background. Your data syncs to the cloud and is accessible from any other device with the same account.
Native iOS and Android apps are on the roadmap if you prefer the App Store experience.
