Does anyone know if online banking is really less safe than only being able to access the bank in person?

My grandparents refuse to open online banking for their account. I’m wondering if there’s a way I can convince them?

    Your grandparents might be using the wrong reasoning but online banking will open them up to scams. It’s another vector for scammers to get access to their account.

    Online banking, itself, is typically very secure. Social engineering is the biggest threat vector.
