Apple iPhone 6?
How safe is it to do banking transactions on my new Apple iPhone 6? Does it have an Internet Security system built in?

The security is in the connection between your bank and the browser you used to connect to the bank. The two get together and arrange encryption between them, so any cell phone, wifi, or laptop on a land line is as secure as any other.
If you want to really lock things down, you can add a layer of protection in the form of a VPN between your phone/laptop/netbook and a central VPN server. If the bank or whoever you are doing business with does the same on their end, all communications, including the ones the bank and your browser negotiate, will be encrypted before they leave your device. In fact, they encrypted communication will itself be encrypted AGAIN, so double encryption.
