Online banking is a bigger term than simply online bill pay. There are several ways your bank can pay your payee – one is that they simply mail a check. The other, if they do a lot of business with the payee, is to simply make an electronic payment (ACH) to your payee – usually places like your electric company. Another way, if the payee banks at the same bank, is to simply deposit money to the payee's account at the bank.
Any of these cost the bank no more than if you had written a paper check or had initiated an ACH/wire transfer and in some cases, costs them less.
Some banks offer these services for free, others don't. One of my banks charges me about $0.65 to send a check from the bank but doesn't charge me to electronically pay someone. Another of my banks charges nothing to send a check but they don't like doing an ACH so they charge me for that.
In the long run, nothing at a bank is free – it will be paid for somehow. Usually with banking fees.

Any bank that has weathered the current financial storm is safe to invest in. Bank of America, JP Morgan Chase, to give you a couple of examples.
Now, when we looked into savings for our children, we decided not to go with a college savings plan; the reason is that if one of our children either gets a full scholarship, joins the armed forces, or whatever else, the money saved would not be used, and by trying to use it on anything else it would be hit with so many penalties that it would be like we never invested the cash in the first place.
We decided instead to research a medium risk mutual fund, and have one for each of our kids. As they get closer to college age, we'll probably shift the capital into a low risk fund, but this way, they have money saved up for school if needed, or for whatever else if they don't.
Good luck.

Most banks only offer the ability to receive and view statements online at the credit card companies website. I haven't seen very many companies that offer email statements. Viewing a statement online is more secure because your information is more protected online than it is in an email.

That's not something that you can do on your own. If you call in and speak with the Online Banking Department they can add those account to your Overview for you.
Hope this helps!

no, you will have to use your bank.

I've heard that too, but it ain't necessarily so (song lyric).
start with http://www.bankrate.com. I've used it to identify the best place to buy a CD. Check local banks, too, savings and loans, and credit unions.
Right now, I think I've seen ads on TV for an account where they will put in $100 if you open it. Can't recall if this is savings or checking.
You want the bank with the best rating, the highest Annual Percentage Rate, the lowest opening amount, and no minimum balance to avoid fees. I closed my bank savings account when the fees were eating up the balance.
http://www.bankrate.com/funnel/savings/savings-results.aspx?local=false&IRA=false&prods=33 You can click on a category (minimum balance to open, for example) and rank them from low to high.
Some of these banks have local branches. Some are only online.

First off.. Paypal isnt a bank that you make deposits to, it is a payment service..
You are going to have to enlist another PAYMENT SERVICE such as BidPay etc etc etc to keep buying things off Ebay, et al…
