I was tricked by a phone-phisher pretending to be from my bank, and he convinced me to hand over my credit-card number, then did $8,000+ worth of fraud with it before I figured out what happened.

    For BankID it somewhat does, because only registered services can make the request

    I’m not an expert on digital banking, but this sounds like a no-brainer… Aside from marginally increasing compliance costs, why would this not just be the norm everywhere?

    I mean… It was rhetorical. I know why.

      It kind of is the norm.

      Just a few countries like the US are really backward in terms of accessible banking - mainly due to having no federal ID, residence registration, etc. too on top of outdated bureaucracy.
