There are many banks to choose from. Put your money elsewhere. Then explain to the bank why you did.

  Every bank I've used has had a pretty absurd amount of trackers that I've blocked, often 5-10+ third party javascript domains. I don't know of any that don't have any, but I'm sure some small ones exist somewhere. There doesn't appear to be a huge market for services that do little/no tracking, as users are all unaware of the tracking that services do to begin with, so they would not even notice the difference.

    Contact the regulators, perhaps? To me, allowing untrustworthy third-party scripts on a bank website sounds like a huge security risk.

      As a US citizen I don't see much that can be done. Although I don't trust the third-party scripts, the bank obviously does, given they're all large analytics platforms.

FIS, Fiserv or Jack Henry ... collectively control approximately 70 percent of the market for bank core processors (according to FedFIS.com, Fiserv is by far the largest). https://krebsonsecurity.com/2018/03/what-is-your-banks-security-banking-on/ https://krebsonsecurity.com/2018/03/what-is-your-banks-secur...
