Presumably you had some reason to trust the bank in the first place. Maybe a recommendation from somebody you know? Get the key from them.

The current level of ease is not being achieved securely. If it's not possible to do so, we should walk it back.

This works great for something that are obvious. "Hey, this plumber was good and cheap".

The problem is this completely and totally breaks down where things are obscure. When things turn from "reals" to "feels" the amount of manipulation a bad actor can perform is great.
