Is it safe to log into online banking with a VPN enabled?

TECHNICALLY SAFE, BUT RISKS INSTANT ACCOUNT SUSPENSION.
Tunnel encryption prevents password theft, but banking anti-fraud systems view a sudden login from a foreign datacenter as a sign of a breach.

How Anti-Fraud Systems Work

Banking traffic is additionally protected by end-to-end TLS encryption, so the VPN provider cannot see card details or passwords. However, the bank registers the IP address: if a client instantly teleports from a local region to a server in the Netherlands, security algorithms automatically freeze account access.
