My bank always asks if you are using a public wifi, not sure how that effects looking at the acct and security. I would tell her to make sure she logs off and closes the web browser completetly. She can also have the bank but a security monitor for unusual activity just as you would do when traveling or traveling overseas. I would also change my bank password maybe several times if it is a long stay and when she returns home. If she has a smartphone and the bank has an app they tend to be a bit more secure. At least they have to give a password to access the wifi better then a public use and maybe ask the question security.
