Be careful. Wireless connections are realy insecure. No banking or credit card stuff on a wireless connection.
It's true that they are insecure. However, every banking and virtually anywhere you would use your credit card to buy something uses SSL. As long as you see a lock on the website and you verify the URL is correct (to avoid phishing) then it is 100% secure. A person seeing the data you send from your computer to your bank, for instance, would not be able to get anything from it as it is encrypted.
So feel free to do sensitive things over any Internet connection as long as it is encrypted.
