Small comfort for whoever needs to use that bank. This is the disconnect geeks and Free Software needs to bridge to make any headway.

I mean, I concur, but ultimately I can't fix shitty banks being shitty. No geeks can. Banks have been shitty for a long, long time.

Do you know how we usually stop them from being shitty? Forcefully, with legislation.

it costs basically nothing to change banks. you sign up to a new one and they transfer your account and direct debits. you just tell your employer where to send your next salary payment.
