3 Questions... | about mobile banking | Surveys show that hacks on mobile networks are somewhat common. I talked to finance editor Casey Bond about how that affects your mobile banking. |
|
| | Data breaches happen, but yes, mobile banking is ultimately safe. Our team found that banks use encryption, multi-factor authentication and other security measures to protect your data and money. |
| |
| | If my money is stolen, is there any way to get it back? |
|
| It depends on the type of account and when you report it. With credit card fraud, you're liable up to $50. But if your bank or investment account is hacked, it could be tough to recover the funds. |
| |
| | What are your tips for protecting banking data and money? |
|
| Always make sure the apps you download are legit. They should come from reputable app stores, like Apple and Google Play, and have lots of user reviews. And double-check you have the correct URL when accessing bank websites. |
