Hi Tuviia,

Online banking is a good service provided by the banking sector. It's make our life become easier especially when it come to do a transaction and paying bills. It is safe actually if we know how to protect ourselves. Just make sure you never reveal your password to anyone. Beside that do all your transactions from your own computer. Use some antivirus and firewall to avoid your computer being hacked by others and stole your password. Try to change your password frequently (but you must remember it once you change itlol)

Online banking is safe provided you take the safety measures. There are many safty measure which you need to follow to ensure that no fraud happens. the basic thing is to check the 'Https' status. Wile visiting online banking sites, your browser address should start with 'https' & not 'http'. Also be ware of phishing sites. Phishing sites are sites similar to original sites but are fraud sites. you might receive an email asking you to open the account from the link & the link.
Also follow the safety measures given by the site & you will not face much problems.thumbup

I've been using online banking for a couple of years and have never had any problems, in fact its quicker and easier to sort out if you do have a problem as you can check every day, without leaving home, if your account has been used without your permission.

Yes,you're right.It's convenient to use.Thanks for your response

I think it is safe. I have used the online banking frequently. I often check my bank balance and do some transfers via the net. It is much more convenient because the bank is very crowded and I don't like to waste my time there. The bank gives me a security USB key and I need to input it into my computer so that I can transfer the money.

I love Chinathumbupthumbupthumbup

I use online banking for checking the balance also the bank is have token number for transaction and I think it's very safe because without token number people cannot be using for any payments. Usually the site using https and not http, I am sure the bank will proved more security access in the future.

I would think it would be secure site and safe as long as noone can access your paswords or account numbers but I would prefer to not do my banking on the internet. I can check over the phone to get my balance and find out what checks have cleeared and that is good enough for me.


Tuviia (59)   ranked 509 out of 5,179 in internet  3 years ago

I have appled a security USB key.It's more safe to use online banking.You must input in into computer to transfer money.Thanks for your response
