Bankstatemently Open Benchmark

A standardized benchmark for evaluating bank and credit card statement PDF parsers. 15 synthetic statements across 3 difficulty tiers, 12 countries, 8 languages, and 41 parsing challenges.

5 of 15 statements are released here (PDFs + metadata); the rest are coming soon — see the full dataset on GitHub for status, or browse it on the website.

Design: ground truth is never in this dataset

This repo ships PDFs and structural metadata only — no transaction-level answers. Ground truth stays server-side so parsers cannot overfit to the answers. Score your parser's output via Bankstatemently's free evaluation API: https://bankstatemently.com/developers/api.

Dataset changelog

Statements are occasionally reissued to fix errors. A parse or score produced against a superseded PDF is not comparable to results against the current one. Check here before comparing results across dates.

2026-08-07: bsb-004, Silk Road Banking (Hong Kong)

Reissued to correct errors in the original statement. The second account is now denominated in USD, with a disclosed FX rate.
