Of course, I would never actually suggest anyone purposely route their highly sensitive web connections through another 
service or server when possible, especially Tor or a web proxy.

Web proxies (and Tor) don't and really aren't meant to protect information (even though you can try to). Their purpose 
is just to be more anonymous from the point of view of the target web server.

There would be zero need to be anonymous when working on your bank's web site, and you're correct, they should be using 
SSL anyway to protect the data.
