in the same way that a lot of Banks "rules" are actually imposed on them by FSA and other external bodies ( SWIFT etc )

I actually know very well 2 guys who wrote the C&P side of Barclays ATMs and they were in constant battle with VISA/Mastercard as they were exposing flaws in their systems as they went along. They are 2 VERY clever guys ( ex UNI professors one who specialises in security and artificial inteligence, the other in low level CPU programming ) who happen to be really good blokes as well.
