Is it safe to do online banking on mobile sites? (CD, desktop)

[tripod]

Is it safe to do online banking on sites like Skweezer.com? If not can anyone recomend mobile sites that are safe? Thanks

stay with your bank's own sites.

I see nothing on that site that has anything to do with banking, or much of anything for that matter.

Skweezer.com? No way! I wouldn't give any account info (bank or otherwise) to a 3rd party website, especially one as vague as the one you posted. Why not go to your bank's actual website?

If you are having trouble with their mobile version of their site go to your phone's options in the web browser and change the user agent to desktop (available in most popular phone browsers).

The problem is I don't own a real computer, only Webtv, and can't do banking anymore with it

Try Craigslist, I picked up decent computer for $40 a few months back. No drives, the previous owners removed it but I didn't need it anyway.

Tripod, If you want to do banking, it's time to pick up a real computer. There's a lot of great stuff you can get away with with all these peripheral services, but banking should not be one of them.

Even an old crappy computer without a hard disk will serve your purpose. All you need is a LiveCD of a Linux distro (might need to ask a friend to d/l and burn for you) and you can safely do your online banking.

I know someone that boots from live CD instead of Windows for any type online financial transactions. He does it for security purposes, I'd imagine a lot of people do.
