Agreed. Giving someone full access to your bank account is very risky. At least with credit cards you can always dispute charges and it is the merchant who is usually on the hook, not the consumer.
Bitcoin is "push" based which eliminates the ability to fraudulently pull charges from the sender's account. Banks also charge a fee, and add transfer times to transactions that are basically non-existant with bitcoin
