REVIEW · OCROLUS

Ocrolus review:
built for underwriting, not for bookkeeping.

For checked transactions in Excel or CSV, ZeraBooks is the better choice. Ocrolus is a document analytics platform for lenders, priced per document and quoted by sales. The ZeraBooks bank statement converter proves every statement against its printed balances, publishes its price, and includes an AI general ledger for the books.

We make ZeraBooks · 7-day trial · 1,000 pages a month from $79/month billed annually

Statements in, proven to the cent.

WHAT OCROLUS DOES

What is Ocrolus used for?

Ocrolus sells to lenders. Its home page names small business funding and mortgage first, then auto finance, consumer lending, legal, Medicaid, tax and tenant screening. Its pieces, as Ocrolus names them on October 22, 2026:

  • Document understanding

    Reads financial documents, with bank statements, pay stubs and tax documents as the specialty. Its FAQ says it handles over 2,100 document types and uses human review for hard-to-read ones.

  • Cash flow analysis

    Turns statements into revenue and debt-capacity analytics for small business lending. The developer docs describe an Excel export with enriched transactions, a summary per Book and cash flow features, plus NSF counts and amounts.

  • Income calculations and Inspect

    Mortgage tools: income worked out from documents, and automated underwriting conditions.

  • Fraud detection

    Flags fake documents, data inconsistencies and risk signals. Covered in its own section below.

  • Encore

    A deal-sharing tool for small business funding.

  • How you use it

    Through an API and a dashboard, with integrations into loan origination systems. Documents for one applicant are grouped into a Book.

FRAUD DETECTION

How does Ocrolus detect bank statement fraud?

Ocrolus says its fraud detection examines documents down to the individual pixel, shows the reasons and evidence behind each flag, and looks for patterns and inconsistencies across applications, which catches the same fake statement turning up twice. A footnote on its page says document fraud detection is powered by Resistant AI. It publishes no catch rate, so judge it on a trial with documents you already know about.

ZeraBooks Convert answers a different question: are the numbers right. Its balance proof catches any statement whose lines don’t add up to its own printed balances, which flags a misread or a clumsy edit before the file is used. It is an accuracy test on every statement, not fraud screening, and it comes at a published price with no sales call.

WORKED EXAMPLE

How many applications a month fit in a ZeraBooks plan?

Ocrolus doesn’t publish prices, so there is nothing to put side by side. Here is the ZeraBooks side for a small funder that only needs the transactions: three months of statements for two accounts at 4 pages each is 3 × 2 × 4 = 24 pages an application.

ZeraBooks planPages a monthApplications a monthPrice a monthBilled annually, a month
ZeraBooks1,00041$149$79
ZeraBooks 2,5002,500104$249$179
ZeraBooks 5,0005,000208$599$449

Applications are rounded down to whole files. Pages that can’t be read never count. What you get is a proven transaction list per account, not a score: deposit totals, NSF items and large deposits are worked out in Excel from that file, as shown on bank statement analysis.

ZERABOOKS CONVERT

What ZeraBooks Convert does with a bank statement.

PROVEN TO THE CENT

Each account tied to its printed balances.

Upload PDFs up to 50 MB and 500 pages. Convert splits a statement by account, reads every line, and checks that the opening balance plus the lines equals the printed closing balance. A statement that doesn’t tie says which account is off and by how much. Before that, Convert reads the document again automatically, up to two more times.

How Convert proves a statement
The statement proof: every account adds up to the statement to the cent, with the opening balance, transactions and closing balance for each account.

THE FILE

Excel or CSV, one tab per account.

Every row keeps the type printed on the statement, such as Deposit, Fee or Transfer, which makes it quick to filter out transfers between the applicant’s own accounts. All details adds the account and source file to every row.

Bank and card statements
A converted bank statement split into accounts, with date, description, type and amount for every transaction.
