Lots of government websites are extremely sketchy and redirect you to a sketchy payment gateway, often the payment gateway is on some weird domain.

If I make a payment using my visa card, how is it that I'm not just redirected to visa.com, and that's the only place I enter card credentials? Like how OpenID works.

I'm sure there are reasons, probably legacy reasons :)

But it's still weird that payment uses a third-party domain I can't verify. Often called something sketchy.

To be clear the EU did a lot with 2FA requirements for online payments.
