Some of the most frequent questions regarding online banking involve the issue of online security. While we've all heard stories and rumors of e-thieves stealing credit card numbers, the reality is that online banking and transactions are much more secure than the media often makes it out to be.

We don't blame you if you're still a little leary. Still, even the banking you do now has its own security considerations. If you pay your bills by paper check, you expose yourself to theft of your account number, as well as your social security number and phone number which are often printed on the check.
