  Hence why you should not use bank/brokerage websites or apps on phone other than maybe a checking account with a small amount of money in it.

    Yes! On my travel checklist I have "REMOVE BROKERAGE APPS FROM PHONE"

      Unless you are a day trader, I do not see a reason to ever have them on your phone.

        You're probably right. I rebalance my account 4 times/year. I'm thinking it may be best to have one "secure PC" that I do my balancing on, and even remove the passwords from my password manager.

    for paypal, i only ever use a login through the website on the rare occasions i have to use it. for other apps like cashapp/venmo, do they even have a non-app method of using them?
    • lotsofpulp 3y ago
      For those, I would only connect them to a bank account with a relatively small amount of money in it.

  This thread transformed from "multiple dead people in Chicago" to "5 people in NYC's banks are out $5000". Overall I think it's pretty safe to pull out your smartphone in public these days, which was not the case years ago.
