Iphone and ATT personal hotspot (tethering) security

Is the iPhone and ATT personal hotspot (tethering) secure enough to do financial transactions? Or should I wait until I'm on another network?

Yes, it is secure enough. It uses WPA2 Wi-Fi security. Further, any financial transactions you do will be with apps or websites that use SSL 2 encryption, so they would be secure even over an unsecured network such as Starbucks.
