This is a move towards using agile techniques, with a team hired from across the industry (led by the ex- head of the Guardian's online operation) and staffed up with UX experts and people who know how to use Open Source software.
It's not a big systems integrator - it's a small team of permies, working directly to produce something better, and using modern techniques.
This is a GOOD thing.

1) No brute force - the card itself will lock you out after 3 tries, and you have to take it to an ATM and enter the correct PIN there to reset it.
2) The 'or worse' is the threat of serious physical violence from criminals who'd be able to extort the PIN from you and check it using the machine, without having to stand in front of CCTV at an ATM
