    It is only indirectly relevant and I am not an expert but I understand that you are much safer banking via an app on your mobile phone than on your PC/laptop.

    I never bank on my laptop only on my phone app but NS&I (where I only have premium bonds) I log into with my laptop.

    I stand corrected if I'm wrong about security. I may be old but I will be happier paying for the house by cheque over the solicitor's counter and waiting for it to clear than sending the money electronically.
