Bank Phone Verification Systems Fail Legitimate Customers

Automated phone systems at major banks fail to verify customers who have valid accounts, routing them to branches even for simple tasks. The failure wastes significant customer time and creates a trust breakdown between the bank and its depositors. This is a systemic identity verification design problem, not an edge case.
