Connectedness
At present most electronic banking services are directly related to bank accounts. Types of electronic banking that are not account related are usually in the form of monetary values stored in the database or in a card (chip on a smart card). With the development of technology and the complexity of transactions, various types of electronic banking are increasingly difficult to distinguish because their functions and features tend to be integrated or experience convergence. For example, a plastic card might have a "magnetic strip" that allows transactions to be linked to a bank account, and also has monetary values stored on a chip. Sometimes both types of cards are called "debit cards" by merchants or vendors.

Crime in Electronic Banking
Security holes will always be there, this can be observed from websites that report security holes every day. But businesses cannot stop because of potential security holes.
For merely an informative transaction (there is no reduction in balance), it is enough to use a passcode (password) to enter, but for transactions that move/reduce customer balances are asked to enter a pin generated by a device commonly called a token or pin. This tool will issue a row of numbers (usually 6 digits) that are only identical to the customer's account. So other tokens cannot be used on that account. What can be done is to increase the level of difficulty to enter by using safeguards, firewalls & IDS (in the case of Internet servers). Cybercrime which is a crime in cyberspace (cyber) is very possible for customer data to be tapped during electronic banking transactions.
