Internet banking has become very famous these days as you do see people doing it at the very comfort of their home or even they can do it while traveling.There are also many advantages of having an internet banking account as one can check their account statement, can do shopping while traveling and also do stock trading other kinds of business. What do you say of internet banking here? do you also prefer internet banking? is it safer way on banking online with enough security?

I'm still scared of people who steal identity from the net. I go as far as paying my credit card online and checking my balance. So far, I haven't purchased anything from the net yet.

Yes, i am a frequent user of internet banking. Internet Banking has made my tasks more easy. Internet Banking has provided several outstanding advantages by making banking transactions faster and more convenient. As far as customers are concerned, their account information is available round the clock, regardless of their location. They can reschedule their future payments from their bank account while sitting thousands of miles away. They can electronically transfer money from their bank accounts or receive money in their bank accounts within seconds. And yes, it is absolutely safe unless you give your user and password to someone. So be alert. Never give or show your user login and password to anyone.

I use internet banking for both personal and business accounts. I have been using it for years and have had no real problems to speak of. The security has proven to be acceptable. It is quite convenient, allows for nearly real time accounting, and saves gasoline.
