Anything the bank does is just preliminary and not that difficult.

The security detail should be performed by companies that make our computers and manage the internet. Banks should not need to do that much security.

Banks are there to loan money and collect interest and see to it that depositors' savings are protected from mismanagement. They are not doing that job yet they dare to charge savers for the privilege of saving in their bank.

Our financial sector needs a lot of reform starting with providing better incentives to ordinary people to save and regulating all aspects of the financial sector.

I'm all for state banks. They would help keep the financial sector honest.
