Types
-
Internet banking in the past meant pulling up your account and checking your balance. Today you can transfer money, deposit funds from debit cards, pay bills and print statements.
Benefits
-
Bill pay allows you to pay bills from any location that has an Internet connection. If you need to replenish your checking account to be able to pay pending bills, you can transfer money at midnight in your pajamas.
-
Misconceptions
-
Banks use the best Internet security available on their websites. Although most people feel that Internet banking is an opportunity for thieves to steal sensitive information, this usually happens as a result of user error--such as clinking links in unsolicited emails or giving out information to people who do not work at banks.
Precautions
-
When using Internet banking on public computers, log out of your account when you're done with every transaction. Change your password if you're afraid that your account is at risk.
Records
-
Print your statements to use for tax purposes or to balance your checkbook. Although Internet banking is accurate, at times transactions do not go through immediately and you do not want to overdraw your bank account.
