Oh man, hard disagree with @aaronf40 on this one. I think banks actually keep things the same on purpose to lull us into a false sense of security. They want us to get comfortable so we slip up on something dumb like a routing number digit and then they hit us with those sweet sweet correction fees. Missing a comma on an IBAN is an easy $35 for them. And making it easy would cut into their profit margins on returned transactions. Maybe the form layout changes are them testing us to see who's really paying attention.

5 wire transfers a week for my side gig and I swear the bank changes the form layout every few months just to mess with people. It's like when the grocery store moves the eggs to a different aisle every time you shop there. You finally get the muscle memory down and then bam, everything's in a different spot. Feels good when you nail it though, like you beat the system for a minute.
