> banks have a policy of reimbursing people who had their accounts emptied despite taking reasonable precautions In USA, banks are actually required by law to reimburse fraudulent account activity if reported within 60 days. However, this does not cover cases where the account holder themselves made the transfers even if they were tricked into doing so. But if someone gets your login and liquidates your bank account, in USA a least, the bank is 100% responsible for that fraud. Credit card companies are 100% responsible for fraud regardless. Even if they try to market it as a perk "You're never responsible for unauthorized transactions". Yeah, no shit. It's the law. | ||

Banks really don't mind fraud, because they can use fraud to justify higher fees, which they ultimately make more money off of than the fraud actually costs them. |
