Portable evidence

How do you prove a bank statement to someone whose job is to doubt it?

A trustee, a judge, a lender, a landlord: the person you hand a spreadsheet to has a professional obligation not to take your word for it. Any Excel file could have been edited on the way. A plain spreadsheet export leaves the recipient with clean-looking rows but no file-linked artifact to check. RowSure adds one: a verification record.

What the record is

A one-page record issued with every paid conversion. It states what the arithmetic proved on that specific document — opening balance, plus every extracted transaction, against the closing balance the bank printed, row by row where the statement prints a running balance — and how deep the proof goes, in plain words. It is tied to the exact file by its SHA-256 fingerprint: change one byte of the PDF and the fingerprint no longer matches.

  • Anyone can check it, without an account. The record lives at a public address (rowsure.com/c/…). The person you hand it to opens the link, sees what was proven — and can upload the PDF they were given to confirm it is byte-for-byte the file the record was issued for.
  • It does not contain the transactions. You can attach it to a filing, a loan application or a case file without disclosing the statement itself. The record attests; the statement stays yours.
  • It says when the answer was no. A document whose arithmetic doesn't close is not certified — it is declined, with the discrepancy named. A record you can only ever pass makes every pass worthless.

Who hands these to whom

  • Insolvency and forensic work — a case file of statements, each with its record, plus the continuity check across them: each closing balance has to open the next statement, or something is missing in between.
  • Family and civil litigation — disclosure that the other side can verify without a second expert.
  • Lending and tenancy — an applicant's statements, converted and checked, with a record the underwriter or landlord can confirm in one minute.
  • Accountants handing work over — the file you deliver carries its own proof instead of your reputation alone.

How it works, in three steps

  1. Convert the statement on the app. The balance check runs on every document; with any paid plan, the record is issued automatically alongside the Excel and CSV.
  2. Share the record — the link, the code, or its one-page PDF — with whoever needs to rely on the numbers.
  3. They open it, read what was proven, and can compare the fingerprint against the PDF in their hands. No account, nothing to install, nothing disclosed.

Working a whole case file? Case is $149, one-off: 25 conversions that never expire, a record for each, and the continuity check across all of them — bought once, nothing recurring. Ongoing volume sits with Proof at $99/month. The plans, in full →

What the record does not claim — said plainly

The record attests arithmetic: that the numbers extracted from that exact file close against the balances printed in it, and it fixes which file that was. It is not a notarisation, and it does not certify that the PDF itself came from the bank — a fabricated statement whose numbers were made to add up would still add up. What arithmetic can catch across documents — a statement missing from a run, or one whose balances don't carry over — is the continuity check, and what it proved on real public documents is on the registry, failures included. We'd rather tell you the limits here than have them discovered in a hearing.
