The banking, I don't care about that, since the bank can only see where I buy, not what. But if you would want safe banking Switzerland is always available, or countries you've never heard off.
1. Tor does not provide privacy. It provides a certain level of anonymity but once you exit from the Tor network, it is possible to have your traffic intercepted.

Tor has been already been attacked by Tor router owners who sniff their users traffic.

Hence, Tor does not provide you with 100% privacy, only a certain level of anonymity.

2. Switching IMEI and SIM at the same time? WTF? You mean using a different device? Sure, thats what most people who want to protect their privacy do - journalists, private people, whistle-blowers, etc.

3. Banking. Switzerland is not as private as it used to be.

Anyway, I think this thread is a few replies away from invoking Godwin's Law.
