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.

    • Linux 7.2's first release candidate gets off to a good start

      By zikalify · Posted

      Linux 7.2's first release candidate gets off to a good start by Paul Hill Credit: Larry Ewing It has been a few weeks since the release of Linux 7.1, and in that time, the Linux 7.2 merge window has been open, where developers can submit their features and patches ready for the upcoming release. That window is now shut, and the release candidate phase has begun so that new features can be tested and further fixes applied. According to the founder of Linux, Linus Torvalds, this week’s release candidate looks “reasonably normal”. Although we are super early in the release candidates, this is a good sign as it makes it more likely that an eighth release candidate will not be needed. Torvalds even mentioned that the update’s stats are only larger than they really are because there was another AMD header drop with a third of the patch just being AMD GPU register definitions, which aren’t big changes but make the code contributed look larger overall. In addition to this, he noted that just over half the patch is drivers, even when excluding the AMD register dump. The rest of the changes are spread out over architecture updates, tooling, documentation, and core kernel updates. In the next week, Torvalds says that he will be chilling out, taking the week “mostly off”. Despite this, he will be reading emails and keeping up with things, so if he is slow responding, now you know why. He said he is hoping for a calm week, but we will just have to see if the second release candidate is actually like that. We should expect seven or eight release candidates before Linux 7.2 is released, so expect it around the end of August. If you missed it a few weeks ago, be sure to check out our coverage of Linux 7.1's release.

      Ridiculous claim that the labor cost difference of $6000 annually would increase cost per phone by $200. The employees produce 3 phones per month or what?

      And I just bought a seat cushion for my mesh chair. The chair feels nice but the first time I sat in it with boxers, I realized I don't like the feel of mesh on my legs. 😂
