Yeah, my bank does that too. Asks for my birthday for "security" reasons. They also kill their website's usability by forbidding physical keyboards and forcing users to use a virtual keyboard with randomized key layouts in order to type passwords in a feeble attempt to defeat keyloggers. Some banks even make it extra annoying by generating ambiguous keys like "1 or 7" or "2 or 3".

The saddest thing is banks can't be too secure. If they were, then they would be too hard for normal people to use and they would get locked out of their funds.
