Do you feel safe using online banking, or making purchases online with your credit card?
I don't know how I would live without net banking, have been using it for about 5yrs, with out it my rent would probably never be paid on time, and we'd be sitting here in the dark with out any internet :O

Credit cards, I use a debit card for buying online, I couldn't do the things I do without one. And probably the fact that it is a debit card, it doesn't bother me so much. But then I don't think I would be overly worried if it wasn't.

I also use a visa debit card.

I only use it on sites I know are secure.

I only use secure sites and I use my Mastercard and have never had any problems. I also would be lost without my netbanking, as I pay everything online.

Word of warning....even though they say debit cards can only access money you have in the account, a few years ago a friend of mine racked up a couple of thousand dollars debt on her visa debit card. Not sure if they have stopped allowing that to happen or not though.

I use netbanking a lot for rent and all my bills. I find it very useful and not had any probs so far. Don't have a credit card. But did make my first online purchase yesterday and I'm waiting on tenderhooks!
