Payment data does not belong in an AI prompt

Finance writes payment instructions, reports, and supplier correspondence all day. BeeSensible highlights account numbers, IBANs, and amounts in the text you type, before a prompt or email leaves the company.

Looking for the wider story for your organisation? That lives on AI governance for financial services. A payment instruction, a supplier email, an analysis of open items: exactly the texts where AI saves time. And exactly the texts with account numbers, card data, and amounts in them. BeeSensible highlights that data while you type, so you can remove it before you send.

From the field

Three moments your policy never reaches.

In accounts payable

A payment batch that does not add up

Morgan is working through a stack of invoices and wants to know why a batch will not reconcile. He pastes the overview into ChatGPT and asks where the error is. That overview holds supplier names, account numbers, and amounts. The answer is ready at once, and the banking details of twenty suppliers have left the company.

In treasury

An email to the wrong contact

A treasury officer confirms a change of account number by email. Autocomplete picks the wrong contact. The message carries the old and the new account number, plus the amount of the next payment. One click on send and the payment details sit with someone else.

In the finance department

The auditor question you cannot answer

During the annual review, the auditor asks which payment data ended up in which AI tools. A policy on responsible AI use exists. Proof that staff got a warning at the moment itself does not.

01 See and decide

See which AI tools finance already uses, and decide per tool what is allowed.

The catalog already covers more than 35 AI tools built for finance, from bookkeeping and invoice processing to expense automation, each scored on data governance, jurisdiction, and vendor trust. When someone on the team opens one, you see it appear. Then the organisation decides: allow it, allow it with a condition of your own, or not allow it. Anyone opening the tool afterwards sees that decision in the browser, with the approved alternative as the first button.

03 Clean

Clean a payment reconciliation file before it goes into an AI tool.

A reconciliation sheet, a supplier statement, a payment run export: open it in the Mac or Windows desktop app, and IBANs, amounts, VAT numbers, and account holder names are marked for you to remove before you share the document or paste it into AI.

Why this is hard

The risk sits in the moment someone types.

01

AI is the new spreadsheet by email

A quick question to ChatGPT to summarise a report or write a formula. The account numbers and transaction references go along in the pasted text. Nobody means to, it happens in the rush.

02

Payment data is a target

Account numbers and payment instructions are exactly what fraudsters look for. If they land in a consumer AI tool with no processing agreement, that is a breach, even when it happens by accident.

03

A ban backfires

Banning AI outright gives you no safety, only Shadow AI on personal laptops. People need help at the moment they type, not a rule they route around.

04

Oversight wants evidence, not policy

Under GDPR and during the annual review, you have to show that payment data is protected. A control that actually works counts for more than a document in a drawer.

Across finance

Recognisable wherever you work.

The same risk shows up in different files, from accounts payable to treasury.

Accounts payable

Supplier invoices, payment batches, and correspondence full of account numbers and amounts.

Accounts receivable

Reminders, customer data, and account numbers in payment chasers.

Controlling

Reports and analyses where transaction details and balances end up.

Treasury

Payment instructions, banking relationships, and changes of account number.

Payroll

Payslips, national insurance numbers, and employee account numbers.

Mortgage advice

Income details, national identifiers, and property values in application and advice files.

Insurance and claims

Policy details, claim files, and personal data in underwriting and claims software.

How BeeSensible helps

A warning in the text field, before anything is sent.

Sensitive details get a highlight while staff write. They decide what to remove, replace, or mask.

Recognises financial data

Highlights IBANs, account numbers, VAT numbers, amounts, and card data while you type. Works on Dutch and EU formats.

Works in the tools you already use

Runs in the browser, in AI tools, Gmail, Outlook, and chat, plus a desktop app for macOS and Windows for document redaction. No proxy, no training up front.

You stay in control

You choose: remove, replace with a realistic alternative, or mask. The extension never changes your text on its own and never blocks sending.

Counts, not content

Administrators see patterns by tool and category. What an individual staff member writes is never stored and cannot be read.

For CFO, compliance, and privacy officer

Show the control works, without looking over anyone's shoulder

BeeSensible gives you the figures audit and oversight ask for: how many markings finance adjusted before sending and how many went out anyway, what happened after a tool notice, and what share of AI use runs through approved tools. All at organisation level, never per employee.

Example dashboard. Counts and types only, never content.

Compliance

A control you can demonstrate

Show auditors and the regulator that a control sits at the moment of input, with figures per period: markings adjusted or sent anyway, a recorded decision per AI tool, and what people did with the notice.

Privacy officer

No view into individuals

The dashboard shows no text and no single people: only aggregate counts, with no per-employee drill-down anywhere. Insight into patterns, not surveillance of people.

CISO and IT

Nothing changes in your stack

No proxy and no new application. The extension runs in Chrome and Edge. Detection runs on our own servers at European providers, with no US parent, and all traffic is encrypted in transit.

Honest answers

The questions we hear first.

Straight answers to the questions people actually ask before rolling this out.

Does BeeSensible watch everything staff type?

No. The extension analyses text in the input fields of supported tools to highlight sensitive data. That text travels to a BeeSensible server at a European provider, is processed in working memory, and is discarded at once. The content is never stored and cannot be read by anyone, not even an administrator.

Does it block AI tools or block sending?

No, BeeSensible blocks nothing. You see a highlight in the text and choose what to do: remove, replace, or mask. The staff member stays in control, and finance gets insight into patterns.

Does this make us GDPR compliant?

No tool makes you compliant on its own. BeeSensible helps with GDPR by covering the moment of input and supporting your accountability. Your organisation stays the controller, BeeSensible is the processor, and a processing agreement is signed.

Does detection work on Dutch data too?

Yes. The detection engine handles Dutch and English reliably and recognises data common in finance, such as IBANs, VAT numbers, account numbers, and amounts.

How much work is the rollout?

Limited. There is no proxy to configure. The desktop app for document redaction is optional. The extension runs in the browser your organisation already uses and can be rolled out centrally through your management console.

Compliance

Built to support the checks you already have to show.

GDPR

Supports your accountability and covers the moment personal data is entered.

PCI DSS

Helps recognise payment card data before it lands in an AI tool or email.

Processing agreement

A processing agreement is signed with every customer. A product DPIA is available on request.

EU processing

Detection runs on our own servers at Scaleway in the Netherlands and Hetzner in Germany: European companies with no US parent, both ISO 27001 certified.
