I can only speak for myself and my own personal preferences but I will not do business with anyone that requires this. I've been cutting ties with businesses that have intrusive practices. I have also been migrating to a bank that gave me the option to make everything online read-only. The only remaining business is Amazon but I have recently found a local business that will drive into a big city once a week to transport items from big box stores so maybe I can nix Amazon at some point. I am in a very remote area. My personal goal is to reach a point where I can power off my flip phone and leave it in a drawer for months at a time.

Individual migration is a very temporary solution. When the bank you just migrated to becomes a bit bigger -- it's the next target. Or some new law like digital ID's / one world currency make the migration irrelevant.

  You could be right but in my specific use case the bank I moved to will quite intentionally remain small. It serves a specific small community and has no intention to grow outside of this community. If that changes some day I will move again. Moving banks is simple. This community will not comply with digital currency laws and we would make our own mesh networks. The hardware and fiber is already in place to do so.
