>banks could have let users create read-only credentials
I am Australian and at least one bank here does this. We used it for a book keeper in a former company. It was helpful for the book keeper to have the ability to access our financial data to do their job without having to hassle us for data exports or whatever. At the same time the don't want to be in possession of a big collection of bank log in details that could be used to steal money.
It let them log in, export the data they needed and that was all.

- andyjdavis 10y agoPretty sure it was bank of queensland but this was quite some time ago. If you go to http://www.boq.com.au/ http://www.boq.com.au/ and go through to their log in screen this is why there are three text boxes instead of the usual two (a clunky solution to needing different login details from different people).
