Is Firebase Realtime DB using SSL?

[Ruben González Torres]

Hi,

I am building a finance app and because I am going to be saving bank information from my users in the DB, I need something secure. I was planning to use REST API to build my server and use https (SSL) to communicate with my mobile apps. Now I saw Firebase Realtime Database and it is awesome, but I need to be sure that it is using a secure communication protocol and that it is safe to use it for my users bank transactions.

Yes, and No.  It's in the URL "HTTPS"  The S means secure.  SSL is basically deprecated in favor of TLS 1.2.  PCI compliance (finance) requires TLS 1.2.

Yes, Firebase uses TLS.
