The user/password is encrypted by SSL the moment before travels out from your laptop.
But due to the wifi element, i'd advise against using online banking. |

If it was an unsecured Wifi without WPA/WEP, I would advise u not to use it to submit your credit card information/password etc online though those information could be encrypted before being sent out.
