Internet Banking

[midagetrolop]

We have just found out that our local bank is closing in April. Where we live is pretty rural and we would have to travel someway to get to another branch of our bank. So we are thinking of internet banking. I am a little nervous after hearing on the news of all this hacking into accounts. Is it safe and is it easy. I have POA on my elderly mother's account and third party on my son's account will I still be able to deal with their business on line? Thanks in anticipation.

P.S. I too would recommend use on private home PC only.

Canary42 Tesco also spotted fraudulent use of my credit card and declined the payment. Don't know how fraudsters got those details as I don't use that card online, only for business expenses purchasing consumables from cash 'n' carry. Internet banking is here to stay. People want free banking but tellers need to have wages paid for by somebody.
