Since FPL works on Internet how safe is our Bank transaction going thru FPL servers?
I don't think this is like HTTPS protocol for Internet banking? How our data is safe stored in FPL servers?
ANy info regarding such security issue will be appreciated and clear my Mis/understandings.

Re: How safe is FPL for phone banking?
Your data isn't "stored" on our servers, it simply passes through the network.
I can tell you this, it's a lot safer than doing it on a home phone that can be tapped or an older cordless phone that can be listened to on any scanner within 10km of your house
VOIP is entirely digital and travels through the internet in a whole bunch of tiny packets. If someone wanted to capture these packets and try to reconstruct a conversation, it would require extreme amounts of time, computing knowledge and a very good reason why they would spend so much time targeting specifically you!
In other words, you're very safe.
