A question from Nes: How safe is online banking?
I am a senior in high school and I have an account with Bank of America. I have been told that it is recommended that I sign up for online banking due to all the benefits that they offers. However my mom never puts any of her bank information online because she does not trust the internet. If anyone who have an Bank of America account and uses banking online. Would you recommend that others should enroll for it as well?

This will protect you from fake emails from people who are trying to steal your bank account information.
