Why is this bank being flagged as suspicious?

I've read about OpenBank on various financial sites (that aren't scams) and decided to check it out. But I got an alert that there was suspicious activity. The Bitdefender app didn't say what it was so I asked Scamio about it. Scamio said there was malicious activity. This is odd because this is a bank website. What's going on? Bad certs again?

    Hello.
    Only the anti-malware researchers at Bitdefender Labs can help you with the issue.
    You should report the URL(s) as false positive to Bitdefender Labs here:
    https://www.bitdefender.com/consumer/support/answer/29358/
    You could also share the VirusTotal link of the file(s) and/or the URL(s) to the anti-malware researchers:

    To add, there seems to be nothing wrong with the certificate and the JavaScript on the website. Below are the results.

    For JavaScript: https://sitecheck.sucuri.net/results/https/www.openbank.us

    For Certificate: https://www.sslshopper.com/ssl-checker.html#hostname=https://www.openbank.us/

    As far as Scamio goes, it is AI/ML-based, so there is a high chance of false positives.
