I complained to a large-enough institution here, in the US, that CSV exports are industry-standard and that they (the institution) should implement such functionality into their website. After enough nagging (from me and very likely many others), it eventually happened. What’s the customer service like over there?

Multiple times a day. Very smooth, can handle thousands of transactions a day; fetched/written and imported in seconds thanks to hledger and [docker-finance](https://forum.plaintextaccounting.org/t/docker-finance-modern-accounting-for-the-power-user/189). As for details; above and beyond what the law requires.
