When buying or selling a house, this can get really bad. You have all sorts of entities which extensions of other entities. The bank has a mortgage sector which uses a different domain.
I also had to deal with a medical device recall, which was terrible. I had to trust some skeezy domains.
This isn't hard to fix, all you need to do is list on your website your "partner domains."
My personal security protocol was to search a .gov website for contact info of financial institutions, go to the domain listed, look for a customer service number, and call that to find out what domains to trust. Customer service people thought I was weird.
At one point, a customer service person said, "you know it's legitimate because if you go to LinkedIn, you can see the person you're dealing with has <Bank Name> listed as their employer."

"Yeah? Give me two minutes, and mine will say the same. So, will you give me your personal info?"

Huh? I got my mortgage thru a mortgage broker and I only dealt with a single person.
