Faster processing with ePDFs
Bank statements uploaded as ePDFs can process up to 10 times faster than scanned documents.
This is because AutoEntry reads the data directly from the file rather than scanning it.
What's an ePDF?
An ePDF is a PDF file created digitally, not scanned.
Examples of ePDFs
Downloaded from online banking
Received by email from your bank
Not ePDFs
Scanned paper statements
Photos of documents
PDFs created from scanned images
Why ePDFs are faster
AutoEntry reads ePDF data directly from the file
Scanned documents: Processed using Optical Character Recognition (OCR) and verification
Because of this:
ePDFs can process faster
Scanned files: Typically take up to four hours, depending on load, size, and quality
Supported banks
AutoEntry supports digital extraction for 600+ banks and card providers.
If AutoEntry doesn't support a bank:
The file still processes
It's handled like a scanned document
📎NOTE: We update supported banks regularly, so we can't guarantee the digital process of ePDFs.
When to use ePDFs
Use ePDFs where possible if you want:
Faster processing
More consistent results
If your file is taking longer than expected:
Check if it's a scanned document
Or if AutoEntry supports the bank for digital extraction
