What's the point of using Tor to access your bank's website though? I don't think that is a normal use case at all because there's no point using an anonymity network for that, because your bank probably knows who you are. Exactly the same as with credit cards.

If you're going to pay for something over Tor, it should probably be with a prepaid credit card (or bitcoin). And if you're buying something anonymously then you know you're taking a risk.

Same as with email accounts or any other account. It doesn't make sense to use any account through Tor that you've used outside it, as it could already be identifying information.
