ING Bank on your phone - convenience and security

[shukla7789]

In the era of developing mobile banking, ING Bank Śląski also has a version of its service adapted to mobile devices. Such as tablets and modern mobile phones called smartphones. Most banks have already prepared such versions of their websites, available for mobile devices. These are usually very limited and minimalist pages, which are intended to enable customers to perform operations on the basic, owned bank products. At the same time, ensuring speed and security.

ING on mobile
Let's take a look at the ING BankOnline mobile service. After launching the browser on the phone, we go to lajt.ingbank.pl, where we see a panel that allows us to select the service that interests us, e.g. log into the estonia whatsapp database with a personal account. We can also search for the nearest branch; check exchange rates or contact by phone or e-mail at the provided mailbox address visible in the Contact tab.

Thanks to such innovations, the opinions about ING Bank , which I had the opportunity to review recently on the Internet, have clearly improved .

Possibilities of the mobile version of the system
At the moment, the capabilities of the internet service on the phone are limited to basic, necessary activities such as:

history of accounts held along with information about their balances, blockages and a list of completed transactions

information about your debit or credit cards
transfers between own accounts in ING and external transfers, also to ZUS and the Tax Office
top up your phone and pay off your credit card
the ability to block access to ING BankOnLine and check unsuccessful login attempts to the bank's system along with information about the IP address from which they were made
Security provided by the bank
From ING we get a whole range of security measures that reduce the risk of unauthorized access to our data and bank products. Communication with the bank takes place using an encrypted SSL connection and the password is masked when entered. In the browser we see a certificate, a padlock symbol and the address itself begins with the encrypted "https" protocol. Operations such as transfers are confirmed using one-time SMS passwords. It should be remembered that in order to use them, the phone should be able to work in multitasking mode. That is, it should allow you to go through and read the SMS with the password without closing the browser and logging out of the system.

Mobile banking security
Similarly to using a bank's service on desktop and laptop computers, the level of security most often depends on us. On whether we have properly configured the phone. And on the applications installed on it, which should come from official and large sites that sell and distribute them. By installing applications such as games from unreliable sources, we expose ourselves to the presence of spyware and password stealers. Antiviruses available for phones are not yet good enough at recognizing and removing constantly changing malware, so we should keep this issue in mind.

It is worth adding that when using WiFi, we should do it only from trusted access points. And after finishing work, it is necessary to log out of the service. From our side, it remains to conveniently use the next version of online banking while maintaining security measures that will help minimize risk and ensure trouble-free cooperation with the bank.
