Don't see how banking on phone is anybless secure then a computer.

You're letting the bank know everything about you. What apps you have installed, how you use your phone, where you go, you're just letting them have access to your entire life for mild convenience. Just use the web site and make an icon on the home screen to get to it.

How long is your password on your phone? How long is your password on your computer?

Each banking app usually has a separate password you have to set and every transaction requires some form of authorisation.

You could make an argument about security concerns in regards to biometric scanners in phones, but short passwords are a universal thing for people that dont care.
