Read the report
The result appears on screen straight away, in plain words. Export it as a PDF for your file.

Frequently asked questions
How does Atomara handle personal information under POPIA?
An uploaded document is used only to produce your report, and the details you send in a request form are used only to answer that request. Our Privacy Policy has a South Africa section written for POPIA. It explains what we collect, why, who receives it, and how to contact our Information Officer.
Where is my data processed, and for how long is it kept?
Atomara is run from Ukraine and our servers are outside South Africa, so what you upload or submit is processed outside South Africa. Uploaded documents are deleted automatically within 30 days of upload. Request form details are kept for 12 months, then deleted or anonymised. The POPIA section of our Privacy Policy covers these transfers under section 72.
Which files can I check?
PDF files up to 10 MB. Screenshots and photos in image formats cannot be uploaded. Ask for the PDF downloaded from the bank’s app or online banking, or the payslip PDF from the employer’s payroll system.
What does the verdict mean?
The report says whether the file shows signs of editing and explains what it found in plain words. A clean result means no signs of editing were found. It does not prove the document is genuine: a file without a digital signature cannot be confirmed authentic, and the check does not confirm who issued it.
Can I check a scanned document or a photo?
Yes, if it is saved as a PDF. A scan or photo is checked as an image and gets a report without a score, because a picture cannot show which document it was taken from. Where you can, ask for the original PDF instead.
Does a person look at my document?
No. The check is automated and the report appears on screen as soon as it is ready. Nobody at Atomara reads your document to prepare it.
Does this replace the bank’s own verification?
No. Some banks let you confirm a statement against their own records, for example FNB’s statement verification and Capitec’s QR check. Use those where they exist. Atomara checks the file itself, whichever bank issued it, and works for payslips and proofs of payment too.
Is this the same as bank account verification (AVS)?
No. An account verification service (AVS) confirms that a bank account exists and belongs to the person named. It does not look at a document. Atomara checks the statement, payslip or proof of payment PDF you were sent for signs of editing. The two answer different questions, and many businesses use both.
Do I need an integration to start?
No. You check documents in the browser. For the Business plan, API access is set up with our team.
