It's the same in the US. We're really lucky that it's technically impossible for fraudsters to email pictures of stolen passports (or stolen pictures of passports) to banks and other companies for fraudulent purposes.

Weird, I'm in the USA and I've never emailed my picture or passport to a bank, or provided it in any other way. I suppose they might have a very old scan of my driver's license, certainly nothing newer than about 20 years. If they have any other photo of me it's without my knowledge.

The important thing to remember is that this is the banks problem.
