Yes, most banks have Internet/electronic banking system nowadays. Ask your nearest bank branch today. Or surf the websites of your banks for more information.

The transactions are safe, most of the time. I never experience any fraud until today. Just becareful of three things, phishing, shoulder surfing and easy-to-crack passwords.

Tips
Avoid Phishing...
Avoid opening links from e-mail that claimed coming from bank representative. THEY DO NOT HAVE TO send you e-mail with links! Goto their websites and do transactions there. Type the URL exactly as the banks advertise. Do not reply to the e-mail claiming that they came from the bank representative. AGAIN, the bank DOES NOT NEED your reply via e-mail.

Please becareful of people next to you, even you Ah Ma! Make sure not to do transaction in public, but if you need to, be aware of people around you.

Most bank online system requires complex password. Do not create password that is easily remembered like, your birthday, dog, pet, girlfriend, etc... Use acronym or abbreviation or combination of both
