Every bank I've used has had a pretty absurd amount of trackers that I've blocked, often 5-10+ third party javascript domains. I don't know of any that don't have any, but I'm sure some small ones exist somewhere.

There doesn't appear to be a huge market for services that do little/no tracking, as users are all unaware of the tracking that services do to begin with, so they would not even notice the difference.

Contact the regulators, perhaps? To me, allowing untrustworthy third-party scripts on a bank website sounds like a huge security risk.
As a US citizen I don't see much that can be done. Although I don't trust the third-party scripts, the bank obviously does, given they're all large analytics platforms.
im sure it's buried in their volume-long bulshit ToS as "business partners"
