Hi Joe, I have been "on-line" banking for so many years at this point, I can't remember when I didn't. Honestly.
Don't worry about the fear, "there is simply no way they can make the system secure". "They" can't make your neighbourhood, street or house secure either :) On-line banking (among other things) is about freedom believe it or not. The freedom to do whatever the hell you want other than stand in-line at that bank. Cheers!
