I just get worried that my information would be traced because I think there's less privacy in tablets and mobile because operating system used in mobile and tablets are different than the computers. So I have not checked out yet how much I have in my PayPal account yet as I'm mostly using tablets. Not only PayPal, but my other banks online information, I don't use online with my tablets,

Well, your are wrong.. Paypal is very secure site and it really doesn't matter where you are opening, on which mobile or tablet you are opening the site.. but yes always make sure that you refer to the correct url.
There are many duplicate sites to cheat people so be careful.
Good day!

@AkamaruKei You can alswys look for the ssl certificate very little icon at the start of the URL which tells you that it is secure and verified site.. that way you can find out if it is secure and correct payplan site.
Always look for the certificate or https sites.. which are correct one and secure!

when it come to money transaction just find HTTPS in the beginning of their URL, contrary with what you believe I think you are more safer using your tables especially apples which is not prone to get virus. I always open my paypal in my iphone the only thing I cannot do is transfer fund to other user that needs me to get my Laptop to logged in.
Remember always find HTTPS in the beginning of URL which means more secure than ordinary URL websites

I understand your worries. In fact I haven't tried to use a tablet to pay online yet. As I am also worried about the security. I just use my mobile phone to pay online a few times. Most of the time I still prefer to pay by my computer. At least the online banking supports better in a computer.

I think that you are safe checking out your Paypal account and other online banking accounts for as long as you are aware of logging in to the correct sites. There are those who try to imitate the site of Paypal and other sites just to be able to get information from you and consequently be hacked.

I cannot blame you for your apprehensions. Better be safe than sorry. I say if you are not comfortable doing that, then you don't have to. But personally, I have used to check my Paypal and online banking transactions using my iPad and iPhone. I just make sure that my connection is secure (our own personal wifi with password; I never open my important accounts using a free public wifi).
