Intrernet Banking.

[bandofbrothers]

Hi,


I use internet banking frequently.


Is it safe to do so on an iphone 4 ?


Im aware not to do so on a shared connection thro shops wifi !

I do and I've had no issues.

I do and I've had no issues.

Same here. I do it every weekday morning.

Ditto here. I use the app for my bank and never have any issues with banking. I feel it is secure.

It’s as secure as anything else you do on the internet when not using an iPhone.

 

[iceterminal]

No problems here either. Been using it for a few years now since the 3G.

 

[Applejuiced]

Yes, it's safe.

So far I haven't had my identity stolen Usually banking sites are designed very secure but if you have further worries you can always set up a VPN for use on not just regular networks but on insecure ones in public area's. Very miniscule chance anyone or thing could crack a VPN, can't say for 100% sure though since I've never needed to use a VPN nor do I know much about them.

I am in the USA and use a bank called Wells Fargo, they even have their own iPhone App in the App store. I can paybills and move money even between my personal and business accounts with ease.

If it were not safe, Wells Fargo would not offer the software/App.

It's safe, I would be hesitant to do it on public wifi though.

It's safe provided the connection your on is safe.

Make sure you use a trusted connection. Either 3G or wifi that you trust.

it doesnt matter what your using to make the connection wifi 3g etc, either way your connecting to the banks encrypted webpage/data.

I have never had a problem. I frequently check my account and pay bills from my iPhone.

i'm sorry, but how do you trust a 3G connection? it's not like you can pick and choose which 3G tower your iPhone is connected to.

but as for the OP, online banking is safe

You can trust it as much as your home Internet connection, the ISP in this case your cell carrier probably can watch what you are doing but you are safe from other users on the same network which is not the case on wifi.

I use the Chase app all the time. Chances are, it's probably safer to do it on your iPhone, rather than on your computer.
