Not usually: banks already use secure (https) connections, so others on your network can’t read what you send. If your banking app complains about Orli VPN, connect through your own country or turn it off while you bank.

Step by step.
- If your banking app complains, close it.
- In Orli VPN, tap the location at the bottom of the screen.
- Choose your own country, if it’s one of ours.
- Press the button and wait for Protected.
- Open the banking app again.
- If it still complains, press the button in Orli VPN to disconnect while you bank. Press it again when you’re done.
When a VPN helps with banking.
- On public Wi-Fi, the network can’t see which bank you use.
- Abroad, connecting through your home country means your bank sees a familiar address. That works if home is the UK, Germany, the Netherlands or Romania.
Why some banking apps complain.
Some banks don’t like addresses from another country, or addresses that many people share, as a VPN’s are. Each bank decides this for itself.
What a VPN doesn’t do.
It doesn’t stop scam calls or messages that pretend to be your bank. If someone asks you to act fast, pay, or share a code, stop and check with your bank. Read what a VPN doesn’t do.
If it didn’t work.
- If the app still refuses with Orli VPN off, the problem is with the app or your bank. Contact your bank.
