Online Banking Made Easy
By Jack Black
Here's a really simple way... to have your banking handled with
no muss, no fuss... on the internet.
Traditionally you have been used to doing your banking by going
in to a physical brick and mortar building and taking care of
whatever banking business you had to take care of.
Whether it was opening an account, checking balances, depositing
a paycheck, taking money out for living expenses, applying for a
loan, paying a bill, moving money around from account to another
or whatever.
Of course you had to make a special point of putting it into your
schedule and arranging other tasks around it to accommodate your
planned trip to the bank. Well, those days are over.
With the popularity of the internet during the last 5 years
banking has never been easier or more convenient than it is
today.
With the internet and online banking you can access your bank
24/7. Or as close to 24/7 as can be since there is always the
time when the bank's website is not accessible due to website
maintenance.
And you don't even have to get dressed to do your banking. I find
this benefit very useful in the cold winter months when I can
just sit in the warmth of my home and do my banking activities
through my computer.
Nowadays, most large national banks, regional banks and even
smaller local banks and credit unions have some form of online
banking for both the convenience of their customers and for their
convenience as well.
By allowing you to access their bank and your banking account
they don't have to pay for someone to attend to your needs and
they save money. They can pass that savings on to you through
higher interest rates on your money.
In fact there are virtual banks that exist today that do not have
a brick and mortar existence and exist solely online. Because of
the great savings that they enjoy with that arrangement they
offer some of the highest banking interest rates I have seen.
Another great benefit of online banking that I have been taking
advantage of is online bill paying.
In the old days when I had to pay a bill I took the bill, wrote
out a check, put it in the envelope, put a stamp on the envelope
and put it in the mail, hoping that it arrived on time so I
wouldn't be assessed a late fee.
Now I can just get on the internet and get on the website of the
place where I am paying the bill, hit a few keys on the keyboard
of my computer and the bill is paid, saving a stamp and a lot of
time and worry about the reliability of snail mail.
Another great advantage of internet banking is the concept of
direct deposit.
Using direct deposit your employer can now take your paycheck and
automatically deposit the money in whatever banking account you
designate. That way you don't have to worry about getting the
money into the bank in time to pay your big bill coming up. Now
having the money in the bank and the paying of the bill can be
done electronically.
And now dealing with the IRS has been made somewhat easier with
the arrival of internet banking.
Now you can file your return and if it turns out you owe Uncle
Sam some money you can pay it electronically by submitting your
banking information with your return. If the IRS owes you a
refund they can send it to you using that same banking
information. And, it is all done more speedily than it was in the
old days using snail mail. If you are due a refund you will be
very happy to get your money sooner.
As you proceed into the 21st century you can take advantage of
the progress that the banking industry has experienced in the
last few years. You will find many ways to make what used to be
considered a drudge or a necessary evil into some thing that is
more pleasant and less time-consuming to deal with.
So if you haven't experienced online banking, give it a try.
You'll probably like it!
