I was having a conversation with my mother today about changing her bank. She ultimately decided against it because she doesn't want to change her bank account number.

People are creatures of habit. Microsoft learned this when they removed the start button in 8.

Cellphone number portability was forced on that industry here in NZ, I wish bank account portability could be made a thing.

Part of the IBAN is the bank branch. So for that it won't work. The other banking numbers are bank specific anyway.

It is, but that’s a little meaningless when I haven’t been to a bank in maybe 20 years. I see stories here about banking infrastructure and suspect it might be very hard to get changes made.
