How safe is it to do banking transactions on my new Apple iPhone 6?

Does it have an Internet Security system built in?

Let's take them in reverse order.

No - the iPhone 6 does not have an "Internet Security system" built in. Nor does the iPhone 6+, the iPhone 5, 5s, 4, 4s, 5c...

Nor does the Motorola Droid, Razr...

Nor does the Samsung Galaxy S5, S4...

:)

As far as I'm aware no phone has a built in Internet Security System. I'm not 100% sure what an Internet Security System is. You could mean an anti virus software package, you could me malware detection software or perhaps a firewall.


But hold on.
Before you get worried and decided to pitch your iPhone in the trash realize you have three options for online banking with the iPhone.

First - use it as a phone and call the bank. :)
Second - look in the App Store to see if your bank offers an app dedicated to online banking.

This is usually the best and most secure option.


Finally, the last option is use Safari to access your bank's website and make sure you practice Safe Internet Surfing. If you're not sure what that is, post back and we'll walk you through the steps.



Last question - pretty safe.
