My banks per se never made problem (and why should they - first I log in (and three failing attempts will lock up the account (DoS anyone?)), and secondly for transactions I also need a TAN device and my card. Where I had trouble was with the credit card processor once by ordering something using tor ('your IP was from the US..', I'm in germany and ordering from a german company).
