How long before your bank logs you out?

I have issues staying logged into my bank account for more than a few minutes as they keep logging me out. I can't be idle for very long as the site takes it that I'm no longer at my computer. While safety and security are a big deal for banks, it would be nice to be able to stay logged in long enough to view all my transactions without repeatedly logging in and starting over.

Usually five minutes is the maximum time I have inactive on a bank screen before I get a log out warning. I'm glad for the warning as it would be easy for someone else using my computer to access my bank account if they didn't log me out so fast and I walked away while checking my balance.

When my computer hard drive was messed up, I had to use the library computer and check both bank and paypal accounts. I was thankful then that they logged me off after only a minute or so inactivity. I don't like logging into secure accounts in a public place.
