The issue I have with non-credit card purchases is who owns the fraud transactions. For that reason alone, I don't like the idea of giving any site full banking information, especially given the sheer amount of data exfiltration that takes place on a regular basis.

We really need a push based payment system. It's absurd someone can take money from you simply by knowing your credit card or bank numbers

Wait, where in the world does that happen?

..don't tell me that in the US if someone has your banking details they can do literally anything they want, and just empty your account
