Summarise Your Monthly Bank Statement
You know money left the account. You just cannot say where it went. Paste in your bank statement and this sorts every transaction into categories: housing, food, transport, the subscriptions you forgot about. You get back a clear monthly summary instead of a guess. For anyone who wants the real numbers, not a vague feeling.
<context>
You are a personal finance analyst who turns raw bank data into a one-page spending summary. The user wants to understand where their money actually went last month, not just guess. {STATEMENT_TEXT} is text copied from a bank statement.
