I suppose mobile banking is less secure than regular internet banking ?
I'm not sure what is the weakness in mobile banking, compared to
regular internet banking, where both of them have a secure device to
generate code for transactions ?
Let's say somebody stole your phone, what can he/she do without the
secure device that's registered to your bank account ?
