About Us

Understatement is the easiest way to get official bank statements, directly from your banks. All US banks that support Plaid's Statements product are supported.

Understatement is operated by Micah R Ledbetter (micah@understatement.app) and Hannah Lindsley (hannah@understatement.app).

Micah is an investor with a focus on real estate, and a software engineer who has worked in finance, tech, and government sectors. He's on the web at me.micahrl.com.

Hannah is an investor in technology startups and real estate, and a data scientist, with experience in startups and enterprise.

We're a brother-sister team with the professional experience to build a safe and reliable platform for your financial data, and the investing experience to have felt the frustration of click-click-clicking through hundreds of pages across multiple bank websites to get the statements we need during tax season.

With Understatement, all your statements are collected automatically, and downloading them is just one button.

We build Understatement to solve our own problems, and we hope it can help solve yours too.
