I've got a yearly angry tweet that it's totally ridiculous that in $YEAR we do not have an easy, maybe just read-only, way to access our transaction data from banks. (This is for the Netherlands.)

At this point I'd take the enterprisey German API over nothing.

I'd love our government or the EU stepping in.

The EU has already stepped in—IIRC, starting in 2018, the PSD2 directive will force banks to open up their API’s.
