| 1118351 | 2010-07-12 23:43:00 | www.westpac.co.nz Westpac told me they are making online banking more secure in August, so I read all about it & I disagree. I can't see how making you answer some simple questions that someone else can use to reset your password will make online banking more secure. |

| 1118354 | 2010-07-13 00:25:00 | If they wanted to improve security, they could have gone the way of Westpac Australia where selected transactions like transferring money between accounts could only be completed after they had sent a sms message with a code to your cellphone. While probably not fool proof, if someone did access your account, they would also need your phone to receive the txt. |

| 1118357 | 2010-07-13 09:16:00 | + 1 for Kiwibank The questions are answered by mouse-click not keyboard and I assume that can't be "key logged" |

| 1118358 | 2010-07-13 09:54:00 | I'll agree that Kiwibank & BNZ have good security. Westpac is hopeless, don't know about the others | Phil B (648) | ||
