Speaking of banks with terrible websites, my credit union's login page features a checkbox for "Forgot my password", which is not only confusing in and of itself (" I need to enter my password to reset it?") but also is exactly where you'd expect the "Remember me?" checkbox to appear, meaning that any instinctual attempt for me to tell the site to remember who I am will instead result in me resetting my password.

I'm entirely convinced that banking website design guidelines are driven entirely by a seething hatred for the end-user.

They paid someone a lot of money to design their UI, so they better do something different from the rest of the world, else they would have wasted money.

I've thought about this and (in all seriousness) I think the reason is that the tech banking sector must be plagued with ancient programmers that don't give a damn about UI and design.
