I’ve never considered my details safe on the WWW Bretrick. Unfortunately, in the world we live in now, if you want to exist and function in society, then you must be part of the World Wide Web and be visible to everyone who asks, even those who don’t unfortunately.

Yes. I do my best to limit online financial transactions but there is no getting away from it.

I’m careful about who I buy from. I can manage (just about) without buying anything online. I do trust my bank online as much as the High Street branch, that was.
I don’t like the Idea of using my phone for banking, maybe that will change in future. I mean, it’s no easier than using a card.

I’ve reluctantly come around to the idea of using a banking app on my phone.
It is actually quite handy for certain and rather select transactions. I’m still cautious though…

I confess I haven’t looked into it. I just know I always have my bank card with me but I don’t always have my phone,

After lots of consideration I decided to download my banking app. I’ve used online banking on my laptop for ages but just lately there are so many restrictions and several checks and passwords to persevere with, and they even send a code number to your phone so you can access your account on the laptop.
The app gives an instant update on your account and you can pay bills or move money around with just a six figure passcode…It’s the way to go d00d…
