And there wererelatively few options for pre-paid type bank cards in this country, and even they have charges associated to discourage their use compared to your normal debit/credit card.
Rather than the current expectation that eventually your details will be compromised in some fashion, it would surely be sensible for a bank to say "Hey, here's a way to be safer online"
Except they can't do that, because then they can't sell the premium "we totally monitor the internet to make sure no one is selling your bank details, I promise we do and will react before anyone does anything, I swear" accounts.
