The same caution applies to brokerage houses as well, however. Study the institution's rules and modify behavior to fit the fee structure. With some intelligent banking and investing, convenience need not be at the cost of high service fees. On-line banking, while incredibly convenient at home, is not quite ready for RVers yet unless they can find a phone line in a campground.

Security will not be a problem since, unlike a cell phone, a digital phone uses encrypted data via a satellite to communicate.
