I find it extremely uncomfortable that some of the local banks deploy web-analytics and 3rd party tracking on their banking platforms. I fully understand the aspect of APM (application performance monitoring), but do not get why banks have to deploy Google Analytics or Omniture. Worst of all, even came across some candidates which reference 3rd party content (such as Javascript served by 3rd party servers or CDNs which are not owned by the banks).
I am glad that at least SBSA does not track on Internet Banking (although they do via UCount, but at least there it is not transactional banking information). Question to everyone else: Have you ever looked at what your bank's internet platform tracks or what sites it contacts when you login/transact or does it not matter to you at all?
I am surprised about some JS rendered to the front-end and it is a miracle that internet banking channels have not yet widely been compromised (with the exception of one bank and payment gateway I am aware of at the moment). POPI is around the corner, and many businesses will have to play their A-game from November onwards...
