That is pretty intense scrutiny, but it is certainly your right, it is your money most places recommend these online banking security measures. What if the banks just offered another page for you to log in on that had one or two optical recognition queues and if you were to get it wrong, they would monitor your IP address? They could catch just about anyone that way. They would have to hire real people, but warning flags would go up and your real “banker” would be watching your things…Otherwise, I guess it is just as easy to get a fake ID and walk into the bank branch away from your house and make a withdrawal…right?
