The Anonymous Widower

Banking Security

I don’t like internet banking.  Well to be truthful, I like the concept, but some of the implementations of it are rather poor.

Take my bank.  I need to enter my account reference, a password and then three numbers from a key code.  I can remember these in most cases, but if I access the account from someone else’s computer, I need to have the account reference written down.  But I do write it down in a way that no-one could ascertain.

Although it is a system that works, it is not the best.  It is typical of many systems used to login to on-line banking.

I am a mentor on The Horse’s Mouth, which is a web site where people put ideas and others pass comments.  It is an interesting concept and from what I read in the press, it is highly regarded.

In the last few days, the web site has put me in touch with a company called SafeTok.

It looks like it could be a solution to better Internet security. 

But then I am not an expert in this field.  But then I’m a consumer who knows what I don’t like.
