I'm with HSBC too
and I'm thinking of moving because that security keypad thing is a pain in the hole.

I can cope with that
I prefer it to the card reader you need for my Barclays account.

Halifax autocall my mobile when I set up new payments and stuff. It's pretty handy.
Also they text me if there is "suspicious"activity on my card and I can reply to the text and it will hold/release my account instantly

Natwest apparently don't have any of that shit.
Website security is all very well, but you're not any more likely to suffer an attack like that than you are getting your card cloned at the hole-in-the-wall, I shouldn't think.

Yeah I know that
and everyone who knows how the internet works knows that, but most people are terrible internet spastics.

For example, the radio advert for trend micro security which goes "Albert has been a victim of an online attack leaving all of his personal life exposed, passwords, banking etc."

It's so fucking disingenuous.
