It's also because the britanic banking system decided that, on the safety / usability balance, they would choose usability.
Banking in britanic banking system is way easier than anywhere else. I remember when I was a student, they sent a bus to the university, so we could just hop in, arrive at the bank, and open an account as an immigrant in 15 minutes.
Try to do that in France, you would get your card, what, next month at best?
It was only a matter of time before the criminals realize the door was unlocked and feast on them.
In fact, I'm expecting Australia to be next, for the very same reasons.
Have you tried to do any paper work in Australia ? It's. So. Simple. Seriously, for a french, it's a video game on easy mode, and you never leave the tutorial.
But there is trust everywhere.
They are either going down, or make the system harder to work with.
