It seems to me that all banking infrastructure has to cope with the lowest-common-denominator of American systems which were state of the art half a century ago and haven't bothered to pay attention to the rest of the world moving on.
@Sion [main] @Sarah Brown afaik it also has to cope with state-of-the-art (back then) backends written in cobol in the 1980s with the tech limitations of the time, and nobody knows how to change anymore.

I was is an Expat in Setúbal in the early 80s. At the time you could only take about $100 out of the country.
I took a suitcase full of 1,000 Escudos bills to Heathrow for exchange to dollars on the trip back to America for Christmas vacation in 81.
