Yes, my bank does that with automated emails (machine generated).

how does your bank communicate the password to you if it's a machine
generated email?

It has been agreed first. I think there is a place on the web page where
I can change it.

i hope the password is not sent via email, although it would not
surprise me at all.

Me neither, but no :-D

However, the staff don't know how to do it when I email with them.

find a new bank, one which takes security seriously.

They are all the same.

The computer staff do understand it, which is how they do the excerpt
PDFs they send periodically. But the normal staff don't.

The bosses should order the computer staff to create a messaging
platform on the web page, which is how I have been told some foreign
banks do it.

Our banks have messaging integrated into their Internet banking
system. So we have to log in (with a key generating device) to read
their messages.

One of them has two-way messaging, the other just one-way (bank to
customer).

One of them notifies (by e-mail or/and SMS) that their is a message on
the Internet banking platform.

So these platforms are quite secure/private.

OTOH, solicitors (notaries?), real estate agents, etc. are quite happy
to send/receive all kinds of very personal information by normal e-mail.
Things would come to a halt if they didn't.
