Final Thoughts
Thanks to a wide range of security-related technologies, mobile banking is typically an extremely secure activity you can handle from your iPhone or iPad. However, as a safety precaution, never store your account specific passwords within your mobile device (unless you’re using a specific and secure app for this purpose).
Also, get into the habit of changing your account passwords on a regular basis, and do not use the same password for all of your accounts. Another basic precaution when handling your mobile banking, is to avoid connecting to the Internet from a public Wi-Fi hotspot that identity thieves or other criminals could be hacking into, such as from Internet cafes in or near popular tourist destinations.
Financially, even if you’re already using the iPhone or iPad’s Passcode feature, make sure that you sign out of the mobile banking app as soon as you’re done using it. Don’t just press the device’s Home button to exit out of the app.
