When I make a mortgage payment at usbank, I am redirected through two additional third party domains that have no obvious connection to either usbank or banking in general.

You get redirected to a site whose name I can't remember, that has no apparent relationship with either Visa or Mastercard, that asks you to input some piece of personal info. I've sometimes aborted purchase transactions with significant value on being confronted by that challenge. It's a bit like handing your card to a teller, inputting your pin, and then the teller passing you on to some rando asking personal questions.
