Good on this consumer for dragging the bank through this. I'm sure the consumer probably got crap from friends/family about why they were doing this but this is sheer laziness on behalf of the bank and they deserve to be dragged through this to force them to uphold reasonable tech standards for all their customers. Glad that the EU has this option, I'm in the US and would use it more for stuff here :/
- jimmaswell 5y agoNot spending millions of dollars to appease people who are disproportionately upset over such a minor thing as missing accent marks is sheer laziness to you?
- cupcake-unicorn 5y agoThe point of the article is that their tech stack is embarrassingly out of date. A major institution shouldn't rely on ridiculous legacy tech from the 90s. If, for example, a bank is running on a PDP-8 I don't care if it costs millions to fix that, that's the banks problem.
