There is not much safety: consumers need to protect bank accounts

British consumers want to have at least three levels of security when accessing a bank account

60% of UK consumers are sure that at least three security levels are necessary to ensure the security of bank accounts, for example - a password, a card reader and a few letters from a verification word. This conclusion was reached by experts from Equifax and YouGov after the research.

Hacking bank accounts is still a huge problem, so it's no surprise that consumers are doing their best to avoid losing financial information and demanding more reliable protection of their accounts, Marsden added.
