pyitau Link to heading

pyitau is an open-source Python project designed to automate the retrieval of Itaú (Brazilian Bank) account statements, reducing the need for manual data entry and spreadsheet work.

The project’s client (myself) aimed to simplify expense control by automating the data retrieval process from Itaú without manual steps, ultimately saving time and effort in managing finances.

I initiated the project years ago, continue to maintain it, and serve as the primary contributor, ensuring its ongoing functionality and reliability.

In summary, “pyitau” was created to automate Itaú account statement retrieval, achieving the client’s goal of reducing manual expense control efforts. As the primary contributor and maintainer, the project has provided years of reliable service with minimal upkeep.
