You cannot legally or officially remove transactions from a bank statement because they are permanent, auditable records. Modifying or editing an official bank document is considered fraud or falsification. However, you may redact private, unrelated information using a black marker for personal privacy if authorized, or hide specific, non-critical entries for budget tracking in some apps.

Yes, banks do care about OnlyFans, often viewing it as high-risk due to adult content, leading to flagged transactions, frozen accounts, or denials for creators, while for subscribers, large spending on OnlyFans can impact mortgage approval by affecting affordability metrics, though the platform itself isn't the direct issue. Banks worry about supporting illegal activities or sex trafficking, and pressure from payment processors (Visa/Mastercard) adds to their caution, making financial inclusion difficult for creators, even the CEO.
Look for slight differences in font types and sizes. Some banks use more obscure fonts that are difficult for basic OCR software to match. Look for statements that appear to have been scanned but have been converted to text format, as such documents reflect the potential for manipulation.
Bank statement modifications falls into two distinct categories with very different legal implications: Editing (often illegal): Changing transaction amounts, dates, or balances. Altering account numbers or bank identifiers.

If you often work from your mobile device, the Xodo mobile app for Android and iOS offers a quick way to view and edit bank statement on the go. On mobile, you can annotate your bank statement, redact data, add comments, highlights, or text boxes. But, you can't edit existing text.
If you go to the document properties of a PDF file (control or command d), if the proper metadata is available, it will list the creation date and time and modified date and time. This can help you determine if a pdf file has been modified since creation. However, it is not foolproof. This metadata is not secured.
To hide OnlyFans on a bank statement, use a prepaid debit card, a virtual card service (like Privacy.com), or a digital wallet (like PayPal if linked indirectly) for purchases, as these often show up with generic merchant names, reducing direct identification. Using a separate email and creating a separate bank account or card for these transactions offers maximum privacy, since banks generally won't remove the "OnlyFans" or "Fenix International" descriptor from your main statement.
Banks often avoid OnlyFans and its creators due to high perceived risks, including potential links to illegal activities (like sex trafficking), high chargeback rates from customers disputing purchases, reputational damage, and pressure from payment processors, regulators, and activist groups, classifying the adult industry as "high-risk" despite OnlyFans' efforts to implement safety measures.
A bank teller can see these aspects of your account: Checking account balance. Savings account balance. Transactions, including deposits, withdrawals, and transfers.
