there are a couple important things to consider here

- who is liable or who will make it right when your money is stolen? - retail banking in the US sucks in every way except that they will reimburse you for fraud

if it was up to me all my payments would only happen on a cryptocurrency layer and all my cash storage would happen in an account you could only withdraw from in person to the crypto account. the pull model without credentials banks work under is totally flawed and wont last much longer.

They will reimburse you for fraud, after fraud already happens. It would be much better if they worked proactively to prevent fraud. Then they'd be offering a service for a fee, rather than, essentially, selling insurance.
