Except that :
- In consumer electronic transactions you can spot fraud. Something is 
provably missing from an account. Transaction can be traced.
- Banking system do not pretend to provide absolute privacy
- Bank-to-bank transaction, as far as I know, rely solely on 
cryptographic means and do not trust any hardware they do not control in 
the process.
