In today's fast-paced business environment, financial institutions are under increasing pressure to streamline their operations and improve efficiency. One area where significant time and resources can be saved is in the processing of bank statements. Traditional methods of manual data entry from bank statements are time-consuming, error-prone, and labor-intensive. However, with the advent of Optical Character Recognition (OCR) technology and AI, financial institutions can now automate this process, leading to increased accuracy, reduced costs, and improved productivity.
