We still have junk like PoLi [1] which asks you for your internet banking credentials, and government departments use this.
I'm looking at you, NZTA.
Can't wait for the PaymentsNZ [2] effort to be fully implemented and widely adopted, so I can finally use real APIs to access this data, with low privilege throwaway tokens.

Oh yeah, PoLi is indeed junk, and I've also been surprised to see NZ Govt departments using it. I refuse to use PoLi, and I'll do a bank transfer or pay the debit card processing fee (if it's not exorbitant) instead.
