Every transaction to every address is public with blockchain technology. The tricky bit is associating an address with a particular human...

This would affect any attempt at making something like this. I'm not sure that you can enforce the human/address connection in software.

It's a hard challenge, but not impossible. Online banking (mostly) works because it's possible.

That's not enforced by the software. And a person can have more than one bank account.
