Every personal finance app asks for your bank login. You hand over credentials to a third party, hope they're secure, and pray nothing leaks. For millions of people, that's a dealbreaker. The alternative? Spreadsheets that never get updated, or just... not knowing where your money goes. Stated lets you track spending, set budgets, and get AI-powered insights — just by uploading a bank statement PDF. No bank login, no personal info, no risk.
I built Stated because I was tired of every finance app demanding my bank login before I could even see what it does.
I'm based in the UAE, managing accounts across multiple countries and currencies. Every budgeting app I tried either didn't support my banks, required credentials I wasn't comfortable sharing, or just didn't work outside the US/UK fintech ecosystem.
So I asked a simple question: **why can't I just upload a bank statement and get the same insights?**
That's exactly what Stated does. Drop in a PDF, CSV, or Excel statement and you instantly get: - Auto-categorised transactions (AI-powered, learns your habits) - Budgets with real-time tracking - Recurring payment detection (catch those forgotten subscriptions) - AI insights on your spending patterns - Cash flow projections - Multiple currency support
Everything is encrypted with AES-256 the moment it hits the server. No bank connections, no personal info required to sign up.
**What's next:** - MCP so you can access your data through Claude - More bank parsers (currently 19+ supported but most will work out the box) - Goal-based savings tracking - Shared household budgets - Multiple users (accountants, business partners) - Mobile app
I'd love your feedback — what would make this useful for you? Happy to answer any questions in the comments.
Hello Hannan! This financial website is good! However I want to ask one thing Hannan! I have changed in Settings that I live in south korea so I typed our Korea(Won) not Euro. But it does not change. It is shown as Euro still.
Can you fix that?
I am in free version, but if it secures safety and privacy 100% i am willing to use in the future!
Nice work Hannan!
Congrats on the launch - a brilliant idea! Can I ask, are bank statements stored anywhere once a user as input them? Or, can they be input, data extracted, and removed from the app?
This is GENIUS! Funny I was having this exact headache organising headache a few weeks ago with my finances. Literally tried all the apps and gave up lol, ended up just doing a manual spreadsheet (old skool!). Then I scroll on PH and find this 🤩 great work @hannwn 👏 about to fire this up!
