People click fake urls in their email, and provide their bank credentials to phishers.
The problem is that bank's website forces the user to authenticate themselves but currently there's no mechanism to force the website to authenticate themselves to the user.
The solution: Smart Cards (e.g. Credit Card with a chip) and Smart Card readers. Or a USB device doing the same; i.e. a fob
Of course the banks will have to spend a few bucks to provide that to their customers; currently it probably is cheaper for the bank to insure and stick the bill to the customer.

RSA encryption and authentication is the difference
You can't expect the user to do RSA authetication using a keyboard
But the chip in the smart card does exactly that.
