Answer 1

I do a lot of online banking and have never had a problem.  The biggest thing to remember is that if ANY company or bank contacts you thru email to verify personal info DON'T.  Call your bank of the company (after getting the phone number from the compaines website - not off the email) and verify it that way.

Answer 2

yes online banking is safe

Answer 3

online banking is secured. as long as you are at their website, then you don't have to worry of having your info hacked in. they will definitely ask you online for those personal info for verification but it is all in their record just like calling over the phone, they ask you for similar verification questions.
