Ask HN: Storing financial data securely in web apps?

How to store very sensitive data like credit card transactions sercurly in a simple web application?

Intuitively I'd store it on the users computer (IndexedDB, File Api?) because many users won't store their data on any web service.

Is there a better way I'm missing?

I'm not sure about all security-related aspects of it, but concerning a separation between application logic and data, unhosted[1] comes to mind.
