That just sounds like a normal day of interacting with basic German IT infrastructure. It's all the same.

- andersa 3y agoMy personal favorite is the website for reporting large international transactions, which can only be using during regular working hours on weekdays.
- scanny 3y agoWhat exactly is that? Is it for moving savings from a non-eu country into Germany ?
- andersa 3y agoThis thingy: https://extranet.bundesbank.de/ams https://extranet.bundesbank.de/ams How they describe it: https://www.bundesbank.de/en/service/reporting-systems/external-sector/electronical-submission/general-statistics-reporting-portal/general-statistics-reporting-portal-619740 https://www.bundesbank.de/en/service/reporting-systems/exter... Any single transaction exceeding 12500€ entering (or leaving) Germany has to be manually reported here. So for example if you're living in Germany and working remotely as a contractor for a US based company you'll probably have to report your income every month. There are many exceptions that don't need manual reporting though, like if you're buying physical goods from overseas. I guess those are already automatically tracked through other ways. For fun, I just tried to login at ~9:30 PM local time on a Sunday, and it said: "Access Denied" "You cannot access the resource you have requested at this time." "The resource you have requested is protected by a policy restricting access to specific time periods. Your request has occured outside of those permitted time periods."
- pimeys 3y agoFor some of us, using a middle company such as Deel might be a good idea. They take some money for that, but you get a real German contract and don't have to care dealing with the local bureaucracy.
- tentacleuno 3y ago> This thingy: https://extranet.bundesbank.de/ams https://extranet.bundesbank.de/ams My favourite thing on that website is the script block inside a noscript tag that they actually expect to run. Things like that tend to suggest the developers have absolutely no idea how to code for a web browser.
- jarym 3y agoThat's one way to implement a feature flag I guess, not the way many sane people would choose.

- lobsterthief 3y agoTo be honest, average American IT infrastructure is the same; the larger the business, the worse it seems to be. Large tech companies like Google are outliers.
- cscurmudgeon 3y agoHave you used Bank of America’s app? It is quite good.
- dmvdoug 3y agoNot just business. My dad worked for the FBI in IT for about 15 years after he retired from the military. The stories he can tell….
- lopatin 3y agoI bank with Chase and the app is really good. Are there major US banks with crappy apps?
- deleted 3y ago[deleted]
- prmph 3y agoCan second this. I'm not even living in the US any longer, and yet I have never had an instance where the Chase website or app failed to provide a wanted service or work as expected. Their I.T, at least from the customer point of view, seems top notch.
- xahhkakappy11 3y agoThe US is not anywhere near as bad as Deutsche that's for sure. I think whether or not the app is crappy depends on your perspective in the US. I've never seen one try to give me a pin instead of a password, and like you said, some of them are pretty good like Chase.
- cebert 3y agoPNC Bank’s mobile app and website are pretty bad. The only reason I haven’t switched is due to friction and because I have my mortgage with them. The website won’t work unless I allow 3rd party scripts from Adobe to run. The UX is terrible too.
