Yes and that's all part of the strategy. Make it harder for people to use banks/cash in the traditional way and effectively 'force' them to bank online. I think it's appalling given what we all know about how hard ordinary people find it to keep their online activities secure.
We're always hearing about older people, often, who've been conned out of thousands because they've given away their PINS and passwords to convincing phone fraudsters. If these people had good old fashioned pass books to access their money this would never happen but they've been pushed into banking online because it's easier for the banks and frankly they have no idea how to stay secure.
