At least Bank of America also offers SSL protected login page(s). But
most users won't find it. When you go to BoA main page it has a
prominent login area, so that's what people will use. You can get to the
secure login page by following the Sign In link at the top of the page,
then following the appropriate Sign In link from the next page - but
there are 12 such links on that page, making it hard to figure out what
to use.

By the way, an added benefit of going through the buried SSL-protected
login page is that you can make your browser remember your login (if you
so choose). The main page login changes your login and password fields
to ***** before submitting, so your browser's remember password
functionality will store that instead of the real login.
