Same goes for my Bank of Montreal in Canada. I have a credit card through them, and when I signed up (5-6 years ago) password criteria was 6 characters, no more, no less.

AFAIK it's also only numbers...

  Not for the credit card at least.

  Prime numbers, in ascending order only.

That card must have good rewards if you're sticking with a site like that.

  If they get cracked, it's not the cardholder's problem. They have all of the risk.

    True, but ensuring that it is sorted out correctly is the cardholder’s problem, and occasionally quite annoying.

And their solution is: if you get the password wrong 3 times in a row you have to call them to unlock your account. I learned this the hard way, unfortunately.

My bank has a fixed 8 digit number as the password, and mandatory SMS 2FA (which is flawed). They also offer hw token login but you need to buy them and I don't think a relevant percentage of users uses those.

Reminds me of my bank as well, which also makes using a password manager awkward and raises questions able how they are storing the passwords: "Enter character numbers m, n, o from your password".
