A recent survey revealed that 57 percent of Americans fear that their account
passwords will be stolen when they bank online, and 38 percent do not trust
online payment processing, banks and other ecommerce services. [...] Justifying
consumer concerns, 21 percent of the respondents in the survey said they had
already had their bank data stolen. 40 percent of consumers who took the survey
said they would buy more online if the security was strengthened. Another 44
percent of people said that online credit card processing worried them.

Customer satisfaction with online banking sites has risen significantly over the
past five years. [...] The reading of 82 was higher than customers gave banks
overall – 78 in 2007 – suggesting they are more pleased with banks’ online
operations than with branches and call centers. [...] The survey measured
customers’ experiences with three types of financial institutions – banks,
credit card companies and investment services firms.  Banks got the highest
score out of the three financial categories.
