Original Title: Royal Bank website Unsecure

If you are using the correct https: web site, then consider the possibility that your outdated macOS and its browser are not compatible anymore. I have an old iMac with Monterey (which is one version older than yours) and not infrequently get that insecure site warning. The same web sites work fine on newer Macs with Tahoe or later.


In some cases you might find that Firefox or Chrome do work on a site while an old version of Safari does not.


Also, I have found that some financial sites that don't present that warning, even so, internal site options do not work properly with the older iMac on Monterey. This happened yesterday to me and I had to switch to a newer Mac to complete the transaction.

Royal Bank? Is this what you are using:


https://www.rbs.co.uk/


?


If not then consider the possibility you are not using a legitimate website.


Legitimate banking websites have been using the secure https:// protocol for years. The older http:// protocol transfers information in clear, unencrypted text — not a good idea for any transmission requiring even the most fundamental level of security.


Read If you see a 'Not Secure' warning while browsing with Safari and https://http.dev/ for more thorough descriptions.

It’ll happen with browsers using the Apple Trust Store.


It won’t happen with LibreWolf as that brings along its own trust store.

Contact your Bank in person, or by phone.
