Wow... that's a little crazy. I've never heard of such a thing. I thought you were about to describe SiteKeys at first -- where you: 1) Enter your username 2) Go to a second page, see your 'secure image' 3) Enter password on that page 4) Gain access to the site And even those are completely attackable. (For the curious, see: http://tinyurl.com/2ghkxt) But what you described sounds asinine. I hope you're planning on switching banks!
