More likely sources of being compromised are 1 your device if it's not up to date or you click links in emails willy nilly or open attachments in emails without a care or 2 your "card" is compromised at a point of sale of some sort. Having your banking traffic observed and deciphered in transit between your device and the bank is pretty unlikely, or having the bank compromised in some way is also less likely.

All of my internet equipment is owned by me.My router firmware is always up to date and I check that regularly. The modem is one I own, but it has to run the software from the internet provider. I am using Win 11 Pro ant it just updated again today.
My WiFi passwords are annoyingly difficult.
Yea, maybe the NSA FBI can likely get in, but that is unlikely to happen as I am not a terrorist, money launderer, or drug dealer or criminal at all.
I may check out Nord for use on my laptop. I do use the hotel WiFi and my iPhone hot spot is a lot slower than the hotel WiFi. I never do any banking on the laptop, just simple stuff, and logging into Pelican!
