Hi John,

Thanks for getting in touch.

We do not recommend that you check your bank accounts on public wifi.

When you use public wifi you can't be sure who has set up the network and who else might be accessing it. On a public network fraudsters could intercept your online activity including passwords and private emails.

To view more information about staying safe online please see the link I have attached here.

Thanks,

Lorna
