I only do online banking or transactions with my other finance accounts on my iPad. My phone is android and my home computer is PC based and I don't trust those systems against hacking, although the odds are probably low.
Agreed - The device is not the important part - the software is where one is protected.
Phones are computers. Computers use apps too. And phones can go straight to the internet without an app.
Things have changed a lot in the last few years. A password protector like 1password and the Apple universe seem the most secure setup to me.
I will defer to the certified cybersecurity officer I live with.......YMMV
Hmm. Cookies set by the bank Web site, cached pages, and a browser from a company notorious for not keeping user information private ... I don't see the difference myself. But since no one is paying me for my computer security knowledge, I'll defer. What I've been doing has worked for me so far.

I tried it once and I did do it in a more secure method then most. No possible persistent cookies, etc. Direct banking, from a bootable Linux distro (starts as a new install every time, via dvd), and would go through a VPN now.
Rather just go to the bank once every couple weeks and mail my bills.
Meanwhile, in most cities and towns, ordinary citizens log onto their bank accounts on outdated phones with public Wi-Fi and type in a password of 1234#1234...
