> When I called the bank to find out how to get notifications that a password has expired, they said there was no way. "When you change your password, set a calendar event for 60 days ahead..." they told me

This is a very good reason to change bank. That unacceptable answer would certainly induce me to rage quit the service, whatever the inconvenience.

Possibly, but... have you gone in to a bank and asked if you could test drive all web and mobile apps for some period of time to make sure everything was up to snuff?

FISERV is a dominant player in this space. Either this situation is a matter of configuration/settings, or a limitation of their software.

I have no idea that a different bank would have better systems, and it's a Really Big Deal to move business banking.
