This seems to only apply to banks.

I wouldn't be surprised if that created kafkaesque problems with other institutions that require name to match the bank account exactly, and break/reject non-ASCII at the same time.

I know an Åsa who became variously Åsa, Aasa and Asa after moving to a non-Scandinavian country. That took a while to untangle, and caused some of the problems you describe.

Apparently it didn't apply to my bank when I tried to change my name with them, according to them anyone could have made my change of name form, and having ID and correctly putting in the PIN for my card wasn't enough

		The Belgian DPA had at least one bank pay a fine for their incompetence: https://gdprhub.eu/index.php?title=APD/GBA_(Belgium)_-_141/2... Depending on how strongly you feel about this, there's a good chance you'll win if you take your bank to court.

This does not only apply to banks. The specific court case was brought against a bank, but the law as is applies to any and everyone who processes your personal data.

It’s a general right to have incorrect personal data relating to you rectified by the data processor.
