user/pass it's not the only protection of online bank accounts

usually with user/pass you can only check your account and sometimes (not always) send wire to previously defined bank account

usually for wires (or other transactions) you have additional protection

and trust me banks are very seriuos about online banking (because it gives them more money - they don't need so much employers) and they will protect you even more than normal
