			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div style="margin:0 auto;float:left;padding-right:5px"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2495/3950274532_4de36eae5c_m.jpg" width="250" height="180" alt="Bill Rancic on eBillme - Shop and pay with online banking"></div>
<p> Just within the last several years, the Internet has emerged as a highly convenient way to conduct banking business, as well as shop for financial services. As the use of the Internet continues to expand, more banks are using the web to offer products and services or enhance its communication with existing customers.</p>
<p>However, according to the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC), safe online banking involves making wise choices &#8211; decisions that will help users avoid costly surprises or even scams.</p>
<p>Whether selecting a traditional bank or an online bank with no physical office, users should make sure a bank is legitimate and that <span id="more-137"></span>deposits are federally insured. The following are tips for consumers considering banking over the Internet:</p>
<p>Read key information about the bank posted on its Web site. Peruse the &#8220;About Us&#8221; section on the bank&#8217;s Web site where a brief history of the bank, its official name, address, and its insurance coverage from the FDIC is featured.</p>
<p>Protect yourself from fraudulent Web site. Be careful to avoid copycat Web sites that use a name or Web address similar to, but not the same as, that of a real financial institution. Their intent is to lure potential customers in giving personal information, such as your account number and password. Making sure you have typed the correct Web site address of your bank before conducting a transaction.</p>
<p>Verify the bank&#8217;s insurance status. To verify a bank&#8217;s insurance status, look for the familiar FDIC logo or the words &#8220;Member FDIC&#8221; or &#8220;FDIC Insured&#8221; on the Web site. Internet users may also check the FDIC&#8217;s online database of FDIC-insured institutions.</p>
<p>Due to insurance purposes, a bank may use different names for its online and traditional services. Your deposits at the parent bank are added together with those at the Web site and insured for up to the maximum amount covered for one bank.<br />
Only deposits offered by the FDIC-insured institutions are protected by the FDIC. Nondeposit investments and insurance products, such as mutual funds, stocks, annuities, and life insurance policies sold through Web sites or at a bank are not FDIC-insured, are not guaranteed by the bank, and can lose value.</p>
<p>Quite often banks that are chartered overseas are not FDIC insured. If you choose to use a bank chartered overseas, it is important to note that the FDIC may not insure your deposits.</p>
<p>Consumers often want to know how their personal information is used by their bank and whether it is shared with affiliates of the bank or other parties. Beginning in July 2001, banks are required to provide customers with a copy of their privacy policy, regardless of whether you are conducting business online or offline. Here, customers can learn what information the bank uses regarding its customers and whether it shares this with other companies.</p>
<p>It&#8217;s important to remember that the Internet is a public network. So, it&#8217;s important to learn how to safeguard banking information, credit card numbers, Social Security Number and other personal data. Look at the bank&#8217;s Web site for information about its security practices, or contact the bank. Also, be informed about the Website&#8217;s security features including:</p>
<p>1. Encryption: the process of scrambling private information to prevent unauthorized access.</p>
<p>2. Passwords or personal identification numbers (PINs): Used when accessing an account online. Choose a password unique to you and consider changing it regularly.</p>
<p>3. General Security: Security provided by your personal computer such as virus protection and physical access controls should be used and updated regularly.</p>
<p>Considered an added convenience to customers, some banks may offer links to merchants, retail stores, travel agents and other sites. Keep in mind that nonofficial Web sites linked to your banks&#8217; site are not FDIC-insured. These company&#8217;s products and services may not be insured by the FDIC and your bank may not guarantee the products and services. Make sure you are comfortable with the reputation of a company before making a transaction and never provide a credit card or debit card number unless you initiate the transaction.</p>

<p> There are many reasons why people may choose to use an Internet bank.  One of the primary motivations for using an Internet bank is because some people do not have the time to visit their banks during opening hours.  Aside from the timesaving benefits obtained from using an Internet bank, the whole process of visiting a bank can be tedious. </p>
<p>Hence, you can opt to use an Internet bank in order to avoid the hassle involved with paying your bank a visit.  If you find that you have a busy working schedule or you simply do not find it convenient to visit your bank, then you might want to consider an Internet bank.  Online banking is a fast and easy way of<span id="more-142"></span> managing your bank account and it has the potential to save you a lot of time and money.</p>
<p> By using an Internet bank, you can obtain online access to your bank account details and perform actions such as checking your account balance, paying bills, transferring funds between your accounts, and applying for a wide range of Internet bank products.  When searching for an Internet bank, you should make sure that you go for a bank that has a good reputation in the online banking industry. </p>
<p>Bearing this in mind, before approaching a separate Internet bank, it is always a good idea to ask your existing bank if they provide online banking services.  It is also worth mentioning that reputable Internet bank sites have encrypted connections. Therefore, online banking not only saves you time, but also provides you with a safe and secure environment for managing your bank account.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div style="margin:0 auto;float:left;padding-right:5px"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3487/3949771185_abc44b3799_m.jpg" width="250" height="180" alt="Online Banking Fraud"></div>
<p> In the UK, many banks and building societies are attempting to capture a sizeable percentage  of the online banking market share. And it seems that the UK consumers are benefiting from  this competition most. Online banking in the UK is getting big; there is no doubt about it: 6.5  million consumers are online banking customers. And that figure is projected to rise every  year&#8211;not because of bank closures&#8211;because of the ease that online banking offers. Everyone  can say that it is easy and some people may still be dubious about that. But to anyone who is an  online banking customer, they will know just how easy and simple it is.</p>
<p>Before choosing an on<span id="more-130"></span>line bank to open an account study carefully what services the bank  allows you to do online. Also check the accessibility of talking to a live person. Make sure the  banks internet site allow you send secure emails.</p>
<p>The UK, like any other country, has banks on every street corner. And these banks try to lure  new customers in with big bright signs: &#8220;apply now and get a 6.9% APR rate on your card!&#8221;  When you are on the Internet, these banks take the same approach. On their websites, there  are banners that banks use for advertising space because they recognize that so many people  are using online banking; and that they need to emphasize their competitive advantages to draw  customers over the Internet.</p>
<p>Some major U.K. banks have opened independent online banks such as Abbey National with  <a rel="external nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://www.cahoot.com." target="_blank">www.cahoot.com.</a> There is also <a rel="external nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://www.smile.co.uk" target="_blank">www.smile.co.uk</a> the online bank of The Co-operative Bank.  Despite all of the advantages to online banking in the UK, not everything is perfect.  One in twenty consumers will fall victim to online fraud; and when they do, it will cost them big  time. The UK&#8217;s fraud cost last year was £58 million ($101 million), which is quite scary for  consumers looking to join an online bank. To be honest, it is safer to use a brick-and-mortar  bank; however, in order to keep this safety net, you must sacrifice convenience and flexibility.</p>
<p>If you decide to open an online banking account but are apprehensive about the security  issues, you should spend a considerable amount of time selecting a unique and hard-to-crack  password; and in addition to this, you should also use other values for your optional  information that is hard to determine.</p>
<p>Other Online Internet Banking Security Tips:</p>
<ul>
<li>Make sure your operating systems OS and browsers is updated with the latest upgrades  (patches).</li>
<li>Use an anti-virus and anti-spyware programs update them and scan your pc at least once a  week.</li>
<li>Install a personal firewall and learn to use it</li>
<li>Always close your browser window after online banking and delete cookies.</li>
<li>Change your passwords once a month.</li>
<li>Never reply to emails asking for you to update your password or give your password. The  online banks will never ask for your password.</li>
<li>Always type in the browser address bar the online banking url. Do not click on a link  especially in an email as this may take you to a scammer&#8217;s page.</li>
<li>Never bank online from an internet café.</li>
</ul>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div style="margin:0 auto;float:left;padding-right:5px"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2545/3949770647_bbef2771ac_m.jpg" width="250" height="180" alt="Online Banking, Is It Secure? Identity Theft Speaker www.IDTheftSecurity.com"></div>
<p> New studies are proving that banking online has become increasingly popular across all demographics. </p>
<p>A recent study found that the use of online banking has increased significantly over the past seven years. While there were only 3.5m users in 2000, now there are close to 21 million online bankers. </p>
<p>Experts believe the increase in online banking has stemmed from the fact that those services are becoming easier and more secure. In 2007, fraud figures from online banking dropped 33 per cent from the year before. </p>
<p>In addition, many banks are working to dole out security advice and promote safe practices to those users who are alrea<span id="more-131"></span>dy banking online. </p>
<p>Online banking is often considered the easiest option when it comes to quick, daily services. Users can skip the lines at the bank branch and will find it easy to make transfers and bill payments online. For many simple tasks, online banking is often the quickest way to perform daily errands, as well as once-in-awhile tasks like international transfers. </p>
<p>Many banks now even let you start longer, more complicated processes online. If you&#8217;re hoping to apply for a loan or new account, often this can be done online. You can also choose to forego your printed statements each month if you&#8217;re viewing them online &#8211; this saves time, and the environment. </p>
<p>Though online banking is increasing in popularity, there are still plenty of face-to-face bank tellers available to answer any questions you might not be able to have answered online. </p>
<p>Before deciding to start online banking, be sure you understand everything your bank offers online. Offers differ from branch to branch, with some choosing to charge fees and others only allowing certain transactions online. Most banks will be more than happy to sit down for a meeting with you to make sure you understand what online banking means. </p>
<p>Experts also warn that online banking should be taken seriously. Though security has improved when it comes to keeping bank information safe, it&#8217;s still important to use common sense and caution when dealing with money online. Therefore, choose a hard-to-guess password and be sure to change it every few months. In addition, keep an eye on your statements to make sure you catch any suspicious activity. </p>
<p>It&#8217;s easier than ever for consumers to access their <a rel="external nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://www.lloydstsb.com/internet_banking.asp">bank account online</a>. Most banks in the UK offer convenient services that will allow you to do any of your banking errands quickly and easily.</p>

<p> Our life revolves round the money that we earn. Whatever we do, whatever we eat, whatever hobbies we keep, almost every aspect of our life gets affected by money. One should always be taking good care of his or her money. You must be habituated of keeping it in the safest banks and you must be opting out for the best deposit plans, <a rel="external nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://www.paisawaisa.com/banking/saving-account.aspx"><strong>saving accounts</strong></a> and <a rel="external nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://www.paisawaisa.com/banking/current-account.aspx"><strong>current accounts</strong></a>. If your business involves huge transactions the<span id="more-133"></span>n it becomes imperative that you take the services of the finest banks and financial institutions. But how would you choose the right bank? All banks provide almost the same kind of services. Still some facilities differ and that difference becomes easy to point if you chose the modern day banking facilities. For example, online banking services that help a bank customer to make use of banking services with the click of a mouse.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div style="margin:0 auto;float:left;padding-right:5px"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2588/3949770965_aaf620f737_m.jpg" width="250" height="180" alt="Security on the Street, Is Online Banking Safe?"></div>
<p> Online banking completely changed the way we interact with banks and other financial institutions, to the way our fathers did. Online banking is a powerful &#8220;value added&#8221; tool to eliminate costly paper handling and teller interactions in an increasingly competitive banking environment. As the Internet continues to expand exponentially, banks and other financial institutions have increased their use of the Internet to deliver products and to enhance financial services, or simply to improve communication with customers.</p>
<p>However, the arrival of online banking has presented both an opportunity and a challenge for the banking industry. While it’s true tha<span id="more-132"></span>t the Internet has the &#8220;potential&#8221; for safe and secure financial transactions, safe online banking relies very much on individuals for making good choices and decisions that will help them avoid costly surprises.</p>
<p><strong>Here are some safety tips for online banking:</strong></p>
<p><strong>Protect Privacy:</strong></p>
<p>Password is the key in protecting privacy as it opens the gate to one’s online bank account. Therefore it is critical to secure this vital piece of information. Password should never be too personal such as birth date, phone number, or social security number. A secure password is the one that is unique, and a combination of impersonal letters and numbers. The longer it is the better. Also, one should change password every few months or so.</p>
<p><strong>Use Anti-Virus and Firewall Protection:</strong></p>
<p>Anti-virus and firewall protection keep the computer and its data safe and secure. Especially for online banking, anti-virus software and firewall protection is a must. Ensure to get the best protection that is available in the market.</p>
<p><strong>Beware of suspicious E-mail/Phishing:</strong></p>
<p>Stealing personal information online is called &#8220;phishing&#8221;. In this practice, crooks may send malicious emails asking for credit card info, PINs (personal identification numbers), or passwords. However, these emails often contain a link that leads to fake sites designed to get compromising personal information. Therefore, if an email is suspicious, it is always safe to check with the concerned financial institution. Legitimate emails from a legitimate online bank will typically follow the same standards each time, and will never ask for password, PIN, or credit card information.</p>
<p><strong>Protecting credit and debit cards:</strong></p>
<p>One needs to be very careful with important items like a credit or a debit card. While online shopping can be quick, easy, and rewarding but can also be dangerous at the same time. Therefore, it’s wise to shop only at trusted merchants’ websites. Also, ensure that the transaction occur in a secured environment. One should look for the padlock icon at the bottom of the browser window. Typically, website address, or URL, should begin with <a target="_blank" rel="external nofollow" target="_blank" href="https://">https://</a> on any pages where one enters sensitive information. Lastly, it’s advisable that, for online transaction one should buy only from merchants that request the 3-digit security code from the back of your concerned card. It just gives extra assurance that the card is physically in one’s own possession during the transaction.</p>
<p><strong>Choose a legitimate bank:</strong></p>
<p>Choosing a legitimate bank is very important. Legitimate <a rel="external nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://www.igoonlinebanking.com/online-banking.php">online banks</a> will usually detail their security standards on their official web site. One has to figure out exactly what s/he needs from a bank. And, make sure the selected banks offer the same, and then quickly evaluate one’s options and choose the best bank account – that suits one’s need.</p>
<p><strong>FDIC Insured Bank:</strong></p>
<p>FDIC is an acronym for the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation. It is an independent agency which is backed by full faith and credit of the United States government. All FDIC insured banks meet high standards for financial strength and stability. FDIC protects depositors against the loss of their insured deposits if an FDIC-insured bank or savings association fails. However, since the start of the FDIC in 1933, no depositor has ever lost a penny of insured deposits.</p>
<p><strong>Accessing bank account from public network places:</strong></p>
<p>Never leave a computer unattended once signed in to online banking. After completing the transactions sign out of <a rel="external nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://www.igoonlinebanking.com/">online banking</a> web site. Also, it is advisable to clear cache memory, and immediately close the browser. One should avoid sharing, disclosing, or providing bank card number, or password, to another party or website other than the bank or trusted merchants’ websites. Lastly, one should never save bank card number, or password, on a publicly accessed computer.</p>
<p><strong>Conclusion:</strong></p>
<p>Online banking can definitely be a convenient and a safe way to manage finances. However, no matter how secure the security system is, there will still be a hole in it. Therefore, necessary precautions have to be taken in order to ensure the safest experience. Also, never hesitate to get help from the financial institution, while at the same time one must also learn, and take advantage of the security features offered by the financial institutions.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div style="margin:0 auto;float:left;padding-right:5px"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2618/3950550858_0d4f1b1268_m.jpg" width="250" height="180" alt="Endless Online - Bank Madness"></div>
<p> With all the attention online banking has received in the last couple of years, it seems there are new online banks popping up everywhere. Users are choosing online banking for its ease and convenience. And while issues of identity theft are important factors to consider with online banking, it has not stopped people from utilizing the Web to streamline their finances.</p>
<p>Even more importantly, recent studies suggest that Internet banking doesn&#8217;t just make life easier, customers who choose it seem to be more satisfied with their bank. The two areas of greatest satisfaction fall in the categories of the convenience online banking provides and the abil<span id="more-129"></span>ity to pay bills online. One recent industry report indicated that satisfaction with online banking services is up 5.5 percent. The report also shows that users who pay their bills online experience not only satisfaction with the ability to bank online, but with their specific banking institution, suggesting users have strong confidence in their bank&#8217;s ability to secure identity. In fact, similar reports have also shown that those who pay bills online retain their business longer at a particular bank than those who do not use a bank&#8217;s online service.</p>
<p>As a result, banks are seeing tremendous growth in online service. One major commercial bank cited that in 2004, there were 3.4 million customers paying bills online, followed by an increase to 6 million online bill payers just a year later. Many bankers believe those kinds of increases are the result of services such as online bill pay that customers find most appealing.</p>
<p>Many first-time users come to online banking to access their account information such as account balances and check activity. That is followed by the ability to transfer funds between accounts. And finally, many users then move into online bill pay. Perhaps they start with paying a few utilities online at the utility&#8217;s website.  They may then look into the online bill pay service offered by their bank. Now, banks are seeing more and more users receiving bills electronically.</p>
<p>Yet for some bank customers, concerns about identity theft keep them from trying online banking. Interestingly, their counterparts who do use the Internet to conduct banking do not seem to hold those same perceptions. Most are satisfied with the level of online security offered by their banks. The challenge then for banks lies in the continued education of their customers to try online banking and discover for themselves the high level of security in place at most banks. Once those customers give online banking a try, perceptions of risk seem to decrease, reports indicate. Surprisingly, these same reports discovered that today&#8217;s security measures put in place by PC users and banks have many ID thieves targeting potential victims offline.</p>
<p>The following are a few tips to consider when choosing an Internet bank account:</p>
<p>1.	The Annual Percentage Yield (APR) may be higher with Internet bank accounts, and therefore one of the most important attractions for those looking for a high yield. Conducting transactions online may save the bank money, and those savings may then be passed on to the online customer, most often in the form of higher savings rates.<br />
2.	Ability to access money. Online users need to consider what steps are involved in accessing their money in an online account.<br />
3.	Ability to link accounts. Users want the ability to link various accounts to one another, making it easy to move money seamlessly between online bank accounts.<br />
4.	What types of additional services are available? Potential users should be interested in not only banking online, but purchasing CDs, applying for a mortgage, and paying bills online.<br />
5.	Security. Users must confirm that their online bank is FDIC insured and that the security system can be trusted.<br />
6.	Ability to set up automatic savings account. There&#8217;s no reason not to save today with an online account that electronically deposits money into a savings or money market account.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div style="margin:0 auto;float:left;padding-right:5px"><img src="http://i.ytimg.com/vi/k9N5wAz0D3Q&amp;feature=youtube_gdata/0.jpg" width="250" height="180" alt="That Was Then This is Now:  E-Commerce And Online Banking"></div>
<p>It&#8217;s hard to believe that not all that long ago &#8211; in the distant past &#8211; there was no such thing as e-commerce. There was no place to sell goods to an international audience via the World Wide Web. All the consumer goods that are marketed and sold online today could only be purchased through a catalog, strictly to local consumers, or perhaps not at all.</p>
<p>But advances in technology changed all that. Electronic commerce, or e-commer<span id="more-52"></span>ce, emerged through the technology of Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) and Electronic Funds Transfer (EFT), which enabled businesses to send commercial documents, such as invoices or purchase orders, electronically. With the growth in the use of telephone banking, credit cards and ATMs, e-commerce began to evolve in the 1990s. </p>
<p>Commerce Takes on the World<br />
It was during this decade that the Internet went worldwide, although it took the rest of the decade to create secure connections, as well as a digital subscriber line (DSL), allowing people to access the Web 24/7. By the new millennium, companies in the United States and Europe developed a presence on the Internet, offering their services or goods to an international audience. As a result, the term e-commerce has come to define the capability to purchase goods securely on the Internet via an electronic payment.</p>
<p>Business on the Internet has also given way to virtual commerce, or that which is conducted exclusively electronically for items deemed virtual. For instance, consumers might pay for access to what is considered premium information on a website. The concept of e-commerce has also opened the door to additional electronic terminology such as e-tailers which are online retailers, or e-tail, indicating retail sold online.</p>
<p>The act of companies who conduct business to business transactions via electronic commerce is termed Business-to-Business, or B2B. B2B transactions may involve a commodity exchange for any interested party, or a private electronic market (PEM), which connects a limited group of buyers or sellers in one market.</p>
<p>The Consumer and Business Advantage<br />
This ability to conduct business to a worldwide audience has provided individuals with a whole new method of shopping. For the first time ever, customers could shop 24/7 from the comfort of their home. Instead of driving from one business to another in order to compare prices, it could be done online. And orders could be customized in a way specified by the buyer.</p>
<p>E-commerce also represented a revolutionary way for companies to conduct businesses &#8211; opening the door to a global marketplace. The system makes good sense for businesses on so many levels. For instance, the costs associated with processing orders and customer service is less through an automated process. Automated tools make it possible to communicate with online customers via e-mail regarding the status of their orders with virtually no additional cost to the business. And who can imagine an international online vendor squeezing their million-item inventory into one single catalog? Thanks to the Internet, companies can now create online catalogs that would never fit in an ordinary mailbox.</p>
<p>Other advantages of e-commerce have been realized, for instance, in staffing differences. Without having to pay the high cost for staffing the order processing department, businesses have been able to pass the savings onto their customers. Once a business website is established effectively, the costs for order taking fall to nearly nothing.</p>
<p>E-commerce has also grown the way financial institutions do business. For example, online banking allows customers to shop for the best interest rates, mortgages, and customer amenities from their home computers. Managing finances can be handled from nearly anywhere in the world &#8211; monthly payments can be made, monies can be transferred, and payroll deposits can be made without ever setting foot in a brick-and-mortar bank.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div style="margin:0 auto;float:left;padding-right:5px"><img src="http://i.ytimg.com/vi/dQcylqh-s3Q&amp;feature=youtube_gdata/0.jpg" width="250" height="180" alt="Online Banking: Increasingly Convenient"></div>
<p>The fastest, most convenient way to access one&#8217;s bank account information, online banking has gained widespread acceptance for its ease, accessibility and security. From a home computer, users can log onto their bank account and initiate transactions 24 hours a day, seven days a week.</p>
<p>Benefits of Online Banking</p>
<p>There are numerous reasons online banking has gained its reputation as the new way to bank. First, it&#8217;s conv<span id="more-31"></span>enient. An account holder may access their information at anytime and from any computer connected to the Internet. Next, users can save the time and gas involved with driving to their local brick-and-mortar bank. Most importantly, online banking is increasingly secure. High regulation standards help in providing privacy and protection of account information.</p>
<p>With online banking, account holders also have access to a wide range of services. For instance, online banks offer their customers the ability to quickly review account information. Customers can view a summary for savings and checking or other accounts in one convenient location. Online banking also offers detailed account information, including payment histories, balances, and due dates on loans. Users may transfer monies between accounts, or in some cases, to other institutions where an account is held. Payments can be made on loans and customers may even calculate how much they can afford to borrow with an online loan calculator. Especially attractive, online banking allows customers to pay their bills, such as utilities and other obligations, from their home computer.</p>
<p>The bill pay feature has allowed customers to forego paying bills with checks, stamps, envelopes, and hassle. Customers can make payments to nearly anyone who would normally receive payment by way of a check. Both one-time and recurring payments can be set up with an online bank&#8217;s bill pay service. Once a bill is received, users simply log onto their computer and schedules payment for any day of their choice. Payments are made on time, making bill paying easier than ever.</p>
<p>A very practical service for some online banking accounts is the option which allows banking access to family members or other persons specified by the account holder. This feature allows joint owners of accounts full or limited access to specific transactions, such as account balance inquiries, transfers, bill payments, and more. For instance, an account holder might give access to a son or daughter at college to allow transfers in specified amounts into a specific account. It&#8217;s also useful for those who have someone sharing a repayment in a bill &#8211; giving them payment access to the bill pay service.</p>
<p>Another feature, online banking alerts, is sent to an email or cell phone via text message. Set up by a user based on preference, alerts provide instant information regarding an account balance or other transaction. For example, balance limit alerts are received when a balance goes above or below an amount the user has specified. Transaction alerts are received if a direct deposit is received, when a check clears, a withdrawal is made, or a purchase is made with a credit card. Alerts can also be set up to communicate bill payments that have been made.</p>
<p>With the phenomenal growth of online banking, banks continue to develop effective security features, creating peace of mind for customers and a wall of protection against identity theft. Users should always opt in for the additional security features offered by their bank. These programs may prompt a security question, such as a mother&#8217;s maiden name, if it does not recognize the computer from which a user is accessing the account. Customers should also look for &#8220;https&#8221; in the URL as well as a locked padlock icon in the lower corner of the screen. Most importantly, personal identification numbers (PINs) that use a combination of random numbers and letters will be much harder for a hacker to break through.</p>
<p>Another security feature of online banking is that it can be monitored nearly in real time. For those who think online banking is risky, a recent study by a major research firm found that the average days it takes to detect fraud for online account holders is 18 days. For those who monitor accounts from their monthly statements, it took an average of 114 days before fraud was discovered. It&#8217;s hard to deny that online banking is fast becoming the more secure way to handling and protecting finances.</p>
