<u>It is important to use your own personal computer when banking online. </u><em>Using public computers put your information at risk.</em> For example, your browser history can be easily retrieved by others when using public computers, so this allows them to access your bank account information or your password.
Financial institutions use "encryption" technology in order to ensure that a person's information will remain confidential. <u>This technology prevents your information from being deciphered.</u>
You can pay bills with online banking and this is very common nowadays. People usually pay their electricity bill, internet bill and online purchases through online banking.
