Do you pay your bills or otherwise bank online? Are you concerned with security issues surrounding online banking?

Given my husband is a total geek, I'm not too concerned with any type of interent security isues. I always scan for everything before using my system and double check to make sure my connection is secure before doing anything financial.
Also my institution has very high security and is located in a very tech savvy town.
Not saying I do or do not bank on the internet, just that I would be comfortable doing so.

No we will pay some bills over the phone using bPay but no longer do any banking facilities online, and in fact requested the bank to remove the facility. Some months ago our son had a problem where his credit card was used fraudulently, in a different country to where he was, and it took a long time to sort it out. The bank said firstly that he must have given his card to someone else - he didn't because he still had it with him. Then he must have given the information to someone else - he hadn't. Then he must not have signed off when he did internet banking - not true either.
It was eventually sorted out but took many months and so we will no longer put any of our funds at risk, simply because of what it takes to get the matter fixed.
