Personally we are dropping them they were a weak secondary at best.

Showing a local bank teller your ID seems safe and reasonable. Scanning personal ID and emailing this very personal information to faceless strangers across the globe just doesn't feel right.
If banks talk to banks (and they do), then providing your local company banking details should cover it, as like you said - you already provided ID to set that account up (locally).
It just seems redundant, as you have already provided the details to the most important bank to begin with, to be in business in the first place.
Not the same thing, but kind of like when Visa charges you $750 to "review your sites" for one billing company, but then charges you the same $750 over and over to "review your sites" again and again, for every other processing company.
Shit just seems redundant and unnecessary.
