Common Japanese Statement Challenges
We haven't seen an SMBC bank statement yet, but based on statements from other Japanese banks we've processed, here are common challenges we handle:
No Selectable Text (Scanned PDF)
Many Japanese statements are often image-based PDFs with no selectable text, so copy-paste and standard PDF extractors return nothing useful. We use OCR and visual language models to read the page content and extract transactions accurately.

Abbreviated Year in Dates
Many Japanese statements use two-digit years in transaction dates (e.g., "15/03/25" instead of "15/03/2025"), which can be ambiguous across century boundaries. We automatically expand these to full four-digit years.

Running Balance Cross-Check
Many Japanese statements include a running balance column that most converters ignore. Without validating it, missing or duplicate transactions go undetected. We extract this balance and cross-check it against opening/closing balances to ensure every transaction is accounted for.
