In the UK company information is filed online with Companies House, by the company (or possibly a professional representative). Not by a bank data entry person.

And if the bank needs that data it should be able to download it.

So I don't understand where bank data entry comes in. However I only skimmed the article.

You forget that much of the data they looked as is decades old - before automated systems and computer data entry.
