Please take a look at the thread that starts
http://seclists.org/lists/webappsec/2004/Oct-Dec/0291.html

and especially <http://seclists.org/lists/webappsec/2004/Oct-Dec/0347.html>
where I explain why I believe SSL client certificates are really the 
only practical solution to preventing phishing.

Well, there may be one other good option to stop phishing.
If emails could be positively identified as coming from a customer's bank,
then they could ignore those that don't authenticate as spam/phishing/fraud.

Then if your bank doesn't provide this capability, you may decide to change
to a bank that does provide authenticated, secured email comunications with
its customers.
