Do you believe it is safe to bank online?

Lineups are such a drag. Especially at the drive-thru bank, and my husband hasn't even worked up to that yet!!

Thanks. Please come over to my place and convince my husband this is the way to go.

no problem.

Interesting security info. I never thought of that. thanks.

I agree, I do as many things automatically as I can. I am just having trouble convincing my hubby that it's ok.

Thanks myLot. I love it when you repeat yourself to make sure I heard you the first time!!

That's good to know. Thanks for participating.

My bet is you are under 40, maybe under 30 and never stood in a long line to go to the teller. You know, when I was young, we walked 10 miles each way to do our banking, in the snow, in July, uphill both ways!!

Agreed, following the directions is important. Guess that's why my parents insisted I learn how to do that earlier in life!! LOL.

I think I know what you mean but you should include more details.

Thanks for your opinion.

Good advice. Don't put all your eggs in one basket!!

Great advice. I agree.

Thanks for your information. I totally agree.

Thanks for posting. I agree.

Thanks for your good comments. I agree.

I understand why you feel the way you do, although the majority of people disagree with you. The same thing happened to my mother in law for 15,000 dollars. The banking card was stolen and they didn't cancel it even though they said they did. The theft took place over 6 months and the bank never caught it until a rent check bounced. Then the banking insurance got out of paying the whole theft back by only paying the difference between what was left in her account with what was in her account the day before the theft started. This didn't even come close to the total amount lost because they didn't count her monthly income from her pension. It made me so mad. However, this was not from phone or computer banking, it was from a bank card. They never let her have a bank card after that and since. I once had a credit card stolen. The card company called me within a couple hours of my losing it and asked me to check my wallet. It wasn't there of course and the thief had already maxxed out the card. They had me sign some statements and made me check a list of transactions to see what was mine and what wasn't. They never did make me pay the thief's purchases and gave me a new account number.

That's my biggest fear is not being able to fix a mistake.

I understand your nervousness about it. See the story about the lady above!!

Thanks for posting. I guess from reading here, most people don't agree with you.

I have had people call me and claim to be my bank. As soon as they identify themselves they call me by name and then they say, Can you please identify yourself by giving us your address and phone number. NO WAY BUDDY. I will never give info to them. I always say, you tell me what you have there and I will verify it. If they won't do it, then they are for sure not the bank. I have reported these scammers to my bank. Apparently I am not the only one it has ever happened to. These are people that call me instead of me calling telephone banking. No way you should ever give information to people who call you out of the blue when they are already supposed to have it.
