Preach. Shout out to the be/st bank in Germany, Commerzbank. They advertise being reachable 24h a day[1] but all day you gotta go through a chatbot first and beyond core hours there isn't a human at the end of the line. Worse, they don't tell you what their actual core hours are so if you are calling at, say, 9:00, you could be suckered into waiting on the line for the next hour for an actual human agent. You could call 16:01 on a Friday not realizing that the next opportunity to talk to a human agent is at 10:00 the next Monday.
Okay, the last one is a stretch but people worried about their money are desperate. Not to go all radical all of a sudden here but fact of the matter is banks hold a lot of power over your average guy. The least that they could do is show some respect for your time.

Commerzbank seems like a distillate of everything that is wrong with German bureaucracy and business culture. I have an account with them, but only because I can't figure out how to sell ~€500 of stock and shut it down.
I have underengineered a similar problem with Owntracks, a Python receiver logging the location to a daily GPX file, and a static site generator generating daily map pages out of that data.
My goal was radically different: have everything saved in standard format, along with my other synced personal files, and turned into a static site. The static site is a daily diary augmented with my other activities. Owntracks is multiplatform and absurdly reliable.
