      It's not about you

      Google has not made a serious mistake yet

      I do not trust anyone with my money but then we do not have much of a choice, if we want to live in the modern world with modern conveniences then we are always trusting someone to keep money safe, My bank, London underground, and a few other companies on top of that.

      Google is just another one of those companies and frankly they yet to muck up, unlike the banks, some whom have lost hundreds of thousands of customers details over the past year and left major security flaws in their system un patch for almost a decade , when it comes to protecting my Google will probably do a better job than the banks and most of the other organisations I have to deal with. I have several different bank accounts in different banks, Google wont and does not need to know all of them anyway and it will at least in the beginning not be link to my main account with my main bank.
