Yes, my bank has a well put together app. Even supports fingerprint login which is nice (of course it still requires password entry to actually deposit or move funds)

 

I currently use a Samsung Galaxy A6 and it has the September security patch.

I wouldn't touch mobile banking with a 10' pole and that's just me been paranoid being its my actual money being touched if my phone get compromised for some reason.

 

Plus there's nothing in my life that can't wait till I get home to do banking.

Yes, I do both my Credit Card banking and Chequing account banking on my phone.  Pixel 2 running latest patches.  Both banking apps are developed by the same company and are basically just re-skins.

That's my feeling too. If you voted on the poll, i'm guessing you would choose No, yet on the last question only one person said they don't to online banking.

i do, but it is kinda scary that the banks website had a disclaimer saying they are not responsible for hacks or money stolen, IF YOU USE mobile app, and they prefer i use their website as it is more secure then the app.

 

anyway, sometimes i need to do some payments or deposit a cheque, and my phone is too convenient.

 

depositing a cheque with a phone camera is the best, no need to physically go anywhere.

I did vote no, but the last question to me wasn't pertaining to online banking so I voted 'It has the latest Security update!'

Just to deposit checks.

haha, i was just saying that, it is the best feature.

 

but today i needed to send some money to a friend and i also used my phone, while he waited, instead of waiting to get  to a pc.

 

i have encrypted S9 plus, so i hope it is better then many others, if it gets lost or stolen.

IMO the last question can still be answered even if you're not banking on mobile. could show a good reason why the person isn't using mobile in my mind.

in regards to the last question, I wanted to see how many people use online banking even though their phone is missing security updates.

I actually use a mobile only bank for my day to day spending (Monzo). I like the instant notifications the second any money goes out or comes in to my account.

 

In addition its all the other little things such as been able to see on Google Maps exactly where a payment was made and how much i've spent with a particular company over a certain time frame.

 

Friends can even pay me money with their credit / debit card directly in to my account, which can be handy for splitting a bill.

    • My external monitor suddenly isn't working and found out on my device manager that AMD radeon graphics has a "code 43"

      By hellowalkman · Posted

      According to Microsoft, Cause: One of the drivers controlling the device notified the operating system that the device failed in some manner.   https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/topic/error-codes-in-device-manager-in-windows-524e9e89-4dee-8883-0afa-6bca0456324e

    • How do you future-proof a home or small office network?

      By Circaflex · Posted

      Personally, I’ve found that it’s usually worth investing in the infrastructure you don’t want to replace later, especially cabling. Running Cat6A (or better, depending on your needs) during an upgrade is relatively inexpensive compared to having to re-cable a few years down the road. For switches I try to balance current specs with realistic growth. If my budget allows it Ill choose switches with higher uplink speeds which leaves room for expanding later on, but I don’t necessarily overspend on access ports if the endpoints won’t benefit from them anytime soon. One lesson I’ve learned is that planning for scalability pays off. It’s much easier to add devices, VLANs, or higher-bandwidth workloads when your network infrastructure already supports it than to replace hardware later.  What is your budget like?

      I hate the term, "future-proof." We saw it back in the 90's / 2000's, if not before. You cannot future-proof anything, since there is no definition of how far into the future you plan on prepping for. Best idea is to tell us what you currently have and what its use is at the moment, and we can then offer ideas about some areas that might need an upgrade and other areas that can be left alone.
    • Celebrating Windows XP's 25th anniversary this year

      By Nick H. · Posted

      I can agree that it is being used in a small capacity. I worked for a company where their engineers still used XP, and when asked why it was because their sensor software wasn't compatible with newer operating systems and the software was discontinued so they couldn't upgrade the software. Given that the sensors were still in use by companies, they had to continue using XP to support the sensor, otherwise the price to the company would have gone into the millions or billions. Our response was simple: Ok, you can keep the XP machine. But we're removing it from the network. "But then it can't access the Internet or folder shares!" Yup, kinda the point. If someone wants to continue using an unsecure OS they can do, I have no problem with that. But it should be isolated. Simple. I had a fight with a guy in the engineering department for weeks before he finally relented. But we digress.   What do I plan on doing to commemorate the anniversary? Nothing. I have fond memories of the OS, but at the end of the day it's just an OS. If I had some time I might see if I could install it on my Raspberry Pi for a laugh. But my reflex memory with today's OS ideas would probably get me frustrated and I'd uninstall it after 5 mins.
