Ding, ding ding! The lack of standardization of account security measures (as well as the credit/debit card readers (do I need to sign, not sign, press this, press that?)) is an absolute mess. In a word the financial system is a disaster waiting to happen - not adequately hardened at all, IMHPO. Not a month goes by that I don't spot something broken that should not be broken.

All systems should allow you to create your own question, IMHPO. We need to ISO the financial system because banks just ain't too big to derail.

There was one (can't remember which one) where you type in your own question and your own answer. Why can't they all do that?
