Secure? Don't bank on it.

Calling webbish folks: I'd like to make sure this form is as unsecured as it appears before I complain. More inside! So as far as I can tell this form is completely unsecured (which is kind of bad, as it encourages you to use your Social Security number). The page isn't encrypted, the lock icon doesn't appear even briefly when it's submitted (try arbitrary gibberish that won't validate server-side), and the form post action is not to a https:// address. It seems painfully ironic that a privacy choices form would itself be a security problem.

Before I complain to Wachovia, though, I'd like to make sure I'm not overlooking a way this form could be secure that I don't know about.

What Billpay services will immediately deduct the amount of checks you send from your account? Wachovia used to immeadiately take money out of your account on the date the payment was scheduled. While annoying the first month, after years of this method, I've adapted to it, as you don't need to balence your checkbook.

I'm looking for another bank/billpay service that works the way Wachovia used to (they've changed as of 7/31/06). The service needs to do ebill and standard check printing/mailing
