The Hidden Crisis
in Bank Statement Analysis

Manual bank statement processing is costing lenders thousands of hours, creating compliance risks, and damaging borrower relationships. Here's the real impact—and how ExactSum transforms every aspect of the process.

The Real Cost of Manual Bank Statement Analysis

The problems run deeper than most lenders realize

The Hidden Time Drain

  • 2-4 hours per application for comprehensive review
  • 8+ hours for complex multi-account businesses
  • Review fatigue deteriorates quality throughout the day
  • Week-long delays during busy periods

The Accuracy Crisis

  • 2-5% error rates in manual data entry
  • Missed transactions buried in hundreds of pages
  • Inconsistent categorization between analysts
  • Context blindness to multi-statement patterns

The Compliance Nightmare

  • Incomplete documentation under pressure
  • Inconsistent standards between analysts
  • Missing audit trails hard to prove completeness
  • Regulatory exposure to missed AML flags

The Borrower Experience Problem

The biggest cost isn't internal—it's the borrower experience that damages your business

Why Borrowers Need Funding Urgently

  • Equipment purchases before deals expire
  • Property completions with fixed deadlines
  • Working capital for immediate opportunities
  • Refinancing before rate changes

By Week 4, Borrowers May Have:

  • • Lost the business opportunity
  • • Found alternative financing
  • • Decided the deal is no longer viable
  • • Developed negative perception of your institution
