Card-readers are “trust your bank with information security” black boxes.

If their online banking password policies are anything to go by — Halifax and especially Nationwide — then very definitely no thankyou.

Nationwide asks you to set three pieces of memorable information. You can then log in with any 1 of those 3, at your option. https://onlinebanking.nationwide.co.uk/AccessManagement/Logi...

This seems obviously stupid to me, but I'll accept that Nationwide knows better than me if HN says so.

Well of course I trust my bank. No escaping that. The point is not to have to trust the vendor.

> online banking

I wasn't suggesting a payment system based on signing-in to online banking.

Your complaints about online banking security may be valid, but aren't the same issue.
