I visited my bank's website and it hit me. For some reason, their crappy website design appears as more trustworthy than other, sleeker designs of modern banks. Why is that?
I trust sites that aren't heavy with javascript (less ad tech and so better privacy). In my experience, banks sites are often optimized to run on low end user devices and so make good use of old fashion HTTP requests for managing interactivity.
