Did this improve a lot recently? Only 2 years ago, the Wall Street Journal described the inconvenience of Israeli banking this way:
> Banking occupies a special place among the complaints of Israelis. Banks refuse to give out the phone number of a designated representative. Most basic functions can be dealt with only in person at the branch where an account was opened.
> Tech workers - many of them American and European immigrants who came of age with mobile banking - can toil all day on some of the world's most advanced projects, only to find they can't email their bank any documents. Many Israeli banks demand documents in person, sent by mail or by fax.
> when [Aliza Landes, a] 35-year-old American-Israeli [,] recently tried to send money electronically to pay for her wedding dress, the experience was less than high tech. It took two hours on the phone, and then a trip to her bank branch, where employees manually added the send-money function to her app.
