Q. Just how secure is the mobile phone banking service?


A. It uses the same secure backbone as UK cash machines. It’s been developed with some of the world’s leading banking security companies.

Absolutely no bank account information held on your mobile, and every time you want to use the service, you need to enter a passcode that you set yourself.
