This common practice is used in many online services, and there are valid reasons for it.<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Account Security.<\/strong> <\/span>The number is incorporated into the bank\u2019s security system.
