Mostly because of their FUD marketing. Almost all of the VPN ads imply, if not outright state that accessing your bank account is unsafe without a VPN.

I mean sure, if you want to sell Netflix access sure, but their security claims are way off.

Their marketing is the sketchiest shit ever. Any VPN that advertises like that is dead as far as I'm concerned, particularly NordVPN. They are the worst offender; listening to a few different jackasses on youtube pitching their product and hearing each one repeat the same talking points, it's obvious the FUD comes from NordVPN themselves, telling people to say it.

If your ISP is realistic vector for your bank details, anyway you have much bigger problems.

Geoblocking I see, but other stuff without knowing exactly who you get VPN from and who is your ISP is extremely murky... And I think there is very few who can make educated decision on these. And they are running their own or using tor...
