> Your bank was already compelled to do all the work of vetting your identity, so the state trusts the bank to pass on your authentication. Long time ago I thought it's an okayish idea, but to think of it... banks and governments are separate entities with not exactly overlapping interests. Lots of heavyweight lobbying happening. Many of their interests are not in favour of an individual. I don't want to connect dots for them, it's not going to work in my favour. Ideally the only data shared between banks and governments regarding a law-abiding citizen would be only an IBAN.
