The increasing adoption of online banking could be losing money for many consumers, it has been claimed.

Paula Brine, spokesperson for the Unclaimed Assets Register, observes that Britons could be out of pocket as a result of the trend.

But the development is not due to identity fraudsters or so-called phishing emails, she observes - but down to the disuse of shoe boxes and other home-made filing systems.

As a result, many Britons could be faced with money troubles, with a secured loan one way of bridging the gap until forgotten assets can be reclaimed.

"We used to keep our paperwork safely in a shoe box in the airing cupboard," Ms Brine explains.

"Nowadays it's on a computer - and if anything goes wrong with that computer, those records get destroyed."

For consumers who find they have lost track of their finances - whether due to online banking, or because they have lost their shoe box - a secured loan could be the ideal solution.ADNFCR-1287-ID-18377101-ADNFCR
