Kylde, <snip but they'll get shafted before i do PL] the key with online banking and electronic bill payment is to use an alert mechanism. My bank for example sends me an SMS alert whenever a amount greater than a certain amount is debited from the bank. Of course, there are ways around the system but we are getting there and it is a good start.
As long as you follow basic computer hygiene practices, I doubt you will get shafted in online banking. Of course, someone could be sniffing your connection over the wire and pick up your SSL keys or mount a replay attack but then the probability of that happening is low or equal to your getting shafted in using brick and mortar banking it least that is what my gut and experience tell me.
