Question about internet banking

Question

i dont like to pay for anything over the internet so i'm not going to activate my internet account..What i would like to know is if someone know my 16 digits number on my ATM card can that person activate my internet acc and start spending???

Answer 1

No.

I have a number like that but after I enter it I then have to enter another number and a password to get into my account.  These are all given to you when you activate your account.

Answer 2

Yes and No. It depends on which bank's services you are using.

Certain banks required you to activate your internet banking at its atm machine. On top of that, you will need an the mobile number to get the pin which the bank would be sending you for the transcation.

There are also banks which will give you a small device to generate your secured pin number every time you log on to the banking portal on top of the password that they required. The device is supposed to be secured.

There are some banks which do not provide those extra layers of security. You need only to activate it once and they will not send you any pin thereafter.

All those extra layers of security and privacy is supposed to be safe but if there are some spyware kinda thingy hanging around ur pc... tough luck.

Answer 3

Yes, you know hackers are.  They have their ways to hack everything they want to hack.  One of them is my old email account wherein I housed all my online paintings and photos of my special friends. Also, my e-Card which I used to purchase my Mom medicines.  But them I am lucky enough to get a replacement card for the bank was able to monitor my troubles.

But be sure to take care of your card for it is bank to be with magnetic devices.

Take care and GOD BLESS!

Answer 4

Answer 5

No. You need a pin number.

Internet banking is not so bad afterall, it is convenient, and pretty safe. I know I am not rich enough for others to want to fraud me
