All people here at mylot use Internet. so how do you do the banking? do you still visit the bank for transactions and requests or you just use internet banking? i am not taking into account the things like withdrawing money from ATM or some cheque drops at banks. so what do you use now? Internet banking or counter banking?

Counter banking is my first choice. Because I like the feeling when listening the sound of counting money. Imagine the growing figures on the bankbook, my heart will fiying! How dulcet the feeling is!

The banks are usually so crowded everyday. So I prefer to use internet banking as it is much more convenient and it works 24 hours. If it's not necessary, I don't want to go to the bank in person. I love China

I do view my account on the net but i normally dont do any money transfers through the net. For that i issue cheques to the concerned parties. I do visit my bank regularly as it helps develop good relations with the bankers.

Yep I have both of them.When I need the daily cash I will prefer to the banking.But I still have internet banking.It is convinent to be transaction on the internet.And I can grasp my card changing immidiately. Nowerdays someone is afraid of internet feel unsafe and a lot of criminals in the net to treat for money.So they choose to go banking even have to be on line for a lot of time.

I do alot of it on the internet. I pay alot of bills on it. I find it great that I don't have to run as much. The price of gas is out of this world and that makes me happy that I can use the internet for banking.

Hi, i only use Internet banking because the fees are lower and you can make lots of transactions in a short time and from the comfort of your home... :)

I do both. I have to run to the bank to deposit checks but I also have internet banking too. I like to do my banking online when I can. It is alot faster for me and more convenient.

internet banking - I would like to accomplish all the money tasks from my system in the near future. Its cool.
Hi. Up to now internet banking is not that much in force in my part of the world, though it is getting easier by the day but for the secure transactions and all kind of transfer support it will take some time. So, more often then not I have to visit bank branches or ATM's.

well i rely on internet banking most of the times. i don't even visit the bank anymore. i just visit an ATM near my workplace to withdraw money. it's so convenient i really don't see the need to visit a bank anymore. here where i am, we have the two-factor authentication going on. first we'll have to key in the userid and password. then the next level password will be sent to the mobile number we provided to the bank. so it makes it pretty safe to do internet banking. cheers ;p

It is both for me. For simple transactions like checking of account balance, payment of bills and funds transfers are being conveniently done with internet banking. Whilst large and delicate transactions will be done over the bank counter personally. Besides, there is a maximum limit to how much we can transact on our internet banking facility.

Earlier I was in a small place where I could easily go to the bank. Now I have relocated to Mumbai and here distances are terrible. To go from place to place is very troublesome. Thank God I have become familiar with the computer and nowadays I do internet banking.

It depends how wisely you use internet banking. I have been using it and I found it very convenient. If you take all the precautions, while making transactions on the internet, I think, no problem should occur. You need to be careful, while doing transactions through internet, specially on a public computer.

I mostly use internet baking and hardly go to a bank any more . My check already goes in to the bank and I usually will just with drawl money . I pay many bills on here as well , it just is easier , and okay to use if you trust the sites . I even have a paypal card that lets you pay for things.

I use internet for banking and has found so far without any problem. we must obey certain rules and code of conduct. It is safer if you keep on changing your password and do not disclose it to others. I dont't believe in wasting my time in long queues.
