Although many still feel that this type of banking is dangerous, and that others can see your information, improvements in security have been made in leaps and bounds. Your safety is guaranteed now by most banking institutions and you will bear a zero amount in liability. Your username is unique, your password is secure, and some banks require further information from you, such as a code or key word or number. And they make it as easy as possible for the customer so that one does not feel burdened or intimidated by a system that is not user friendly. You can also change your password any time to feel added security.
