Harry, I'm in the US and I pay my bills directly through my bank. (As do most people I know.) My ISP has nothing at all to do with it other than providing me online access. My Internet Service Provider is in no way involved with any of my direct debit transactions and I would be seriously upset if they were storing my personal banking details.
