Most Finns use electronic banking. E bank can be used on many ways, it can be used with desktop computer, on laptop as well as with varied mobile devices. In the future more and more devices will be available for net banking. Banks try to ensure secure and easy internet banking experience for all. It is not easy task, because internet is global network and numerous factors have to be considered for example servers, routers, modems, mobile devices, firewalls, different operating systems, apps, hardware, software, disks, connections etc.


For this reason most banks recommend using mobile-banking. Very often banks recommend certain application which is often marketed with particular banks name / logo. You can usually use net bank with some other mobile-banking app. Nordea ID works with many banks.
Different mobile-banking applications have different qualities and user experience or applications security can be completely different. Some mobile-banking and mobile paying apps gather vast amounts of data - This is not good thing for privacy and it might be also security risk, if gathered data leaks.
Mobile banking or mobile paying apps should be installed only from official app stores:
https://play.google.com/store Android
https://www.apple.com/app-store/ I phone
Decision about apps installation and its security is on end-user.
Mobile device needs to be fully updated. Security of the device must be priority when it is used for mobile banking. It must be ensured that SIM-card is not swapped by bad actor or malicious apps are not installed on device.
I would recommend using Internet bank with operating system which is fully devoted e-banking. Operating system could be on DVD, USB-stick, external hard-drive, internal hard-drive or memory card. Operating system could be live or installed one. Recommendation Gnu/Linux or Gnu/Unix operating system.
I sell operating systems which are devoted for internet banking. Customers need are taken in consideration
For e-banking use browsers security must be ensured. Same applies to modem, router, mobile device or VPN security. It is always necessary to check that connection is encrypted. It is also wise to check that you are connected with right page!
E-banking pages could be used as start-pages or they could be bookmarks. Other option is writing banks page or internet address on address bar. Searching with search engine could be risky. Google & Bing searches have been showing criminals forged e-banking pages in their search results in the past.
