They don't need to send an email, or anything intrusive. They just need
to put a big notice on the login page of their internet banking site -
along with (or instead of) all the ads they have for cheap loans or term
deposits or whatever. It would make virtually no difference to the speed
of logging in, and would reassure me that they take security seriously.
