My sceptical view is stay away from anything involving the ability to transfer large amounts of money via the internet, mainly because it seems to be an old problem that the gov/banks set up wrong to begin with, and have been slow to act on.

Unfortunately name, address, ss# is all that's needed to obtain enough goods/credit to put any individual in a few years of hurt... and that info is floating around in the data bases of schools/credit companies/auto insurance agencies etc.... and even when bio-metrics/genetic verification go into place, any of that can be copied and used just as easily.
No easy solution.
