Online banking with Barclays

[VectraMan]

Anybody else using Barclays? Have you noticed that when you use the online banking it sends your logon id as a URL request to a third party: www.siteaccesstrends.co.uk ?

Okay so you still need your password and passcode, and it's a secure connection, but I still think sending part of your online banking credentials to somebody else isn't good.

How about reading their IB T&C and sending an email to the Information Comissioner if you have any doubt.

You *did* read the T&C's didn't you?
