UBS wins again with fake-looking 3D-Secure site

I elected to pay my dues to SWITCH.CH by credit card and got redirected to this:

ubs3dsecure

Now I have a credit card from UBS, I’m paying SWITCH and I end up at CARCENTER.CH on what looks like a teenage-hacker effort?

Believe it or not, this is indeed UBS’s implementation of 3D-Secure, which as you can read in that Wikipedia article, seems to be less than perfect. Amusingly, returning to the same URL I get this:

ubs21

which pretty well says it all. With all the other snafus the bank has been accumulating, one wonders how long it can go on…
