Then you should not do it. Unless you control complete Internet infrastructure
conecting your computer with the servers of your bank you are completely
exposed. Even worse, if you run X your working assumtion should be that what you can see on your monitor anybody can see.
The above being said, I use sometimes credit cards on-line and I do log into my
bank accounts from time to time. It is all about the risk you can take it.
I am not familiar with Linux so I really do not know how much you would gain in the
terms of security by switching to OpenBSD.
