It's annoying when banks decide to "improve" security by

just an offline card reader with a display.
It is only the Post Office Bank here that requires the Smart Card
Reader. The Post Office
also sells the a reader to make things "easier". I suspect they
take
a piece of the action.
:-) :-)
And require a Windows machine to use it? Personally. I'd look for a
different bank. Here the bank just gives you the card reader when
you
open an account.
We have accounts at other banks. But the P O account is tied into
paying house taxes,
electric bill, gas bill and others. Too much of a pain to change.
Getting way off-topic here, but in the UK you can switch bank accounts
for all such payments (direct debits) in a single operation. The two
banks coordinate the handover between themselves. Takes a few days but
is no more complicated than changing your phone service provider. I did
it a couple of years ago and as I recall didn´t need to contact any of
the payees myself.
You are 100% right about being OT. And I violate my own rules again.
I'll just leave you with "Don't Get Me Started on Banks in Taiwan"!!! And especially
"Don't get me stated on Banks in Taiwan and their treatment of non-citizens".
