Perhaps your interpretation of "transaction" is a bit too rigid in this context. Inquiring your bank balance is a transaction and definitely must be secured. However, it is a business transaction, not a transaction in technical terms(ACID properties) that can lead to inconsistent outcome if you aren't careful.
Well, that's how I interpret it.
