Is it safe to do my banking on my iPad 2

I usually do my banking on my laptop which has norton installed.  Is it safe to use my iPad2 to do all my transactions and view my accounts. Also is is safe to purchase items of eBay, amazon etc

If your laptop runs Windows (which the vast majority of viruses, trojans and other malware targets), the iPad is infinitely safer, as none of those threats can affect the iPad.
You still have to take the same care about connecting to secured wireless networks as you would any other WiFI device, as once the data is in transit over the internet it's out of your hands.
Many banks and financial institutions, shops etc. provide their own iPad apps for managing your accounts. NatWest is one in the UK: http://www.natwest.com/personal/online-banking/g2/ipad-users.ashx

  • HT1424 Is it safe to do banking online with iPad

    Hi can anyone advise me on internet banking I am using my iPad in Thailand and I have thai bank and want to do my banking online is it safe I'm on wifi in hotel and I am using VPN and https on Safari
    Any advise is welcome

    It would depend on both the app and the network.
    I personally would not do any financial transaction over any public wifi network of any kind.
    I do have the app from my bank on my iPad, and pay bills from it.

  • Can i do my personal banking on an ipad the same way i do on my computer

    I am interested in buying an ipad but was wondering if i can still do my personal banking on the ipad the same way i do on my computer. 

    Most larger financial institutions have apps available in the App store.

  • I find that after updating my ipad to ios8 banking applications to deposit funds no longer work. The camera image rotates from horizontal to vertical and cannot be corrected. Is this a new ios8 error. I tried two different bank applications for ipad.

    Hi, Thanks for that further bug description In Your Last Message That Describes The Problem I Am Having perfectly and is exactly the same for me.
    unfortunately that fix for my camera Powershot G6 does not work or apply as the view pictures switch is different on G6 is not usable during download as once you plug in DC/USB cable it turns off, and makes no diff and problem still exists exactly as you just described.
    thanks anyways "Selz Boy"
    it has been 17 days since apple promised to get back to me within 3-5 days hopefully with a solution, but I have still not heard from them.
    They blew me off, i guess, probably i will have to wait for new Yosemite OS update, which they pre-warned me could take as much as 6 months.
    I cannot believe apple released this new update with such major bug issues for camera downloads and that horrible "Photos" pgm which has all sorts of downgrades in features, usefulness and new bugs compared to iPhotos which I just finally got used to and was much better software.
    I am starting to lose faith in Apple and I am getting that Microsoft "FEEL" like I used to have when I was a PC user, which was why I originally switched to Apple  computers in first place.
    Oh well got my fingers crossed here.
    Thankfully the memory card reader solution  is working well, but cost me $45.

  • Where is the padlock showing you, your safe for secure personal banking ans such??

    when going to my credit card, banking or logging into my e-mail there was always a padlock showing it's secure, now i don't see one since downloading firefox 4, is it safe to log into these accounts? and where is the lock symbol?

    The Site Identity Button indicates whether a web site is secure or not. <br />

  • How safe is internet banking on an ipad?

    Have recently been a target of internet banking fraud. Would like to know how secure ipad is? I am trying to figure out how they hacked my account!

    Did you ask the bank if other people have been hacked ? The problem might be on their end.

  • How can I download/save bank statement using iPad to import into Homebudget app?

    As subject states safari keeps opening my banks ms money or QIF document within the web browser. Is there another app or a way to get this to work? I'm trying to import the file into my Homebudget app. Please keep in mind I don't own a computer as my iPad is my primary device. I appreciate your help.
    Joe

    Sorry about that...it's PSECU. Their app doesn't have a download function for statements. I have to go through the mobile access site via safari to view the download option. They got back to me and misunderstood my question as the reply had steps for direct connect for quicken. The homebudget app I have for my ipad offers direct connect but doesn't have PSECU as an option. That's why I was looking to import my statements into the app. Hope this helps clarify my current dilemma. Thanks again for any replies to try and help me out.

  • Is it safe to download adobe and jave to ipad?

    is it safe to download adobe and jave to ipad2

    If by Adobe you mean Flash, you can't. Flash isn't compatible with iOS5 (any iOS honestly)
    I'm  not sure about Java.
    The closest you can do is look for a browser in the app store that works with flash. Puffin, Skyfire are two that are mentioned

  • I can't app mobile banking on my iPad

    I am trying to get App on Bank of America but can't go hru.

    Quit the music app and restart. Then try again.
    Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Quit/close open apps by double tapping the home button and the task bar will appear with all of you recent/open apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner to close the apps. Restart the iPad. Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
    Or - reset the iPad and see if that helps.
    Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.

  • Is it safe to put credit info in an iPad

    How safe is it to put credit info on an I pad?

    If you are on a public wifi (Starbucks, resturant, etc), you shouldn't. If you are on your home wifi, it's OK.

  • I want to use Bayclays mobile banking on my IPad. When I submit my details I get error 00000 no connection to Internet.  BBC websites work without difficulty

    I have an IPad2 running IOS8.0.2. I have installed Barclays mobile banking app version 1.7 and 1.10.
    when I enter my details and submit them I get error 00000 no connection to Internet
    at about the same time BBC websites work without difficulty.
    I believe I am not alone with this problem.
    Does anyone have a solution?

    Hello there Boot5784,
    It sounds like you are unable to use either if these versions of this banking app on iOS 8.0.2. I have an article here for you to help either get the issue resolved, or reach out to the developer if needed:
    iOS: An app you installed unexpectedly quits, stops responding, or won’t open
    Restart the app
    Close the app and open it again.
    Restart your device
    Turn the device off and on.
    Update your device software and your apps
    Update your device to the latest version of iOS.
    Update your apps:
    Open the App Store and tap Updates.
    If updates are available, tap Update All.
    If asked, enter your Apple ID password. The updates will download and install.
    You might need a Wi-Fi connection to update some apps.
    Reinstall the app
    Remove the app from your device and reinstall it. Remember that deleting an app also deletes its data.
    Delete the app.
    Press the Home button.
    Go to the App Store and download the app again.
    Wait for the app to download, then open it from the Home screen.
    If the download stops, you can resume it.
    Contact the developer
    If you see the issue again, contact the developer of the app for help:
    Find the app in the App Store.
    Tap the app and tap Reviews.
    Tap App Support.
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
    Take care,
    Sterling

  • I tried to use net banking in my iPad and got a message java not enabled in your browser. What to do?

    JavaScript is already enabled but still getting the error. Please help.

    Java and javascript are not the same thing. It appears you are trying to access your banking using a browser rather than using an app.  Check if your bank has an app.

  • Why can't I log in to any online banking on my iPad?

    I have no problem loging in on my iPhone 4 but my iPad says time out or just kicks me back to the first log in page!!

    Have you got Settings > Safari > Accept Cookies set to 'from visited' ? You might also need to have Settings > Safari > JavaScript enabled

  • What is the best way to run internet explorer on Mac and IPad and is it safe to do so??

    I need to run internet explorer to access new billing software,  what is the best way to do so and is it safe to run this on macbook and ipad if possible??

    You can't run IE on an iPad and the only way to use it on a Mac, since it's been discontinued for years for the Mac OS, is to install Windows either via Boot Camp or via running Windows as a virtual machine using something such as Parallels Desktop (my personal preference).
