I was in my bank branch recently and they printed off a statement while I was there. It was only when I got home I noticed the url was http rather than https. It was an intranet but even so.

It's possible the machine has some kind of VPN connection and this encryption is indeed end-to-end, just at another layer.

More probably: the branch itself has a hardware VPN, so compromising the local network is still possible.

So if someone breaks into one branch, they break into every branch?

Yay! Free bank accounts all around!
