My solution is to just filter ALL mail from bank or bank-like domains. The vast majority are phishing anyway with only a few marketing emails (often not from a bank domain) or "your online statement is ready" notifications that I'm sure users can do without.
I wouldn't be so sure that users can do without* those notifications. I don't know about the UK, but in the US, banks and utilities are really pushing paperless statements. Users might be relying on email from their banks to let them know when their credit card bills are ready.
*More generally, I don't think it's our place to decide what users can and can't do without among email that they've actually requested. False positives are one thing. *Deliberately* blocking something on the grounds that it's not necessary? That's something else.
