The key is the anonymity. A bank identifies the users in your online transactions, so it's much easier. However, a democratic country can't identify the voters: anonymity is a basic requirement.

The act of voting also need special protections. Too easy to buy/force votes otherwise.

Mail-ins are already problematic in that regards.
