Edit: @Successful_Try543@feddit.org solved it. It says "one special character". Not "at least one".

That is so insane. To think they would rather just clip the passwords instead of habing it be longer.

Did you try out your hypothesis by using the first 8 letters than just random junk until you hit your password length?

I tried then first N characters of my password until I found out the threshold was at 8, then I tried with the first 8 chartacters of my password and then random junk and it worked.

I also had two friends in the same bank to validate

And I’m honestly surprised they let you do that many password tries. I would seriously consider changing banks.
