I have banked online for years now and I love it.

I can look at my account whenever I like 24/7 and see instantly where I am instead of getting a snail-mail statement that is at least a week out of date. I can set up my own regular payments and standing orders and cancel them too. Transfering money between accounts is a doddle too.

I've only had one problem with my bank and that had nothing to do with banking online, it was their incompetence over a matter that I resolved to my satisfaction. (I write a mean letter(s) of complaint).

No way would I go back to the old days where the bank charged me to set up a standing order and to move money between accounts meant a visit and/or written confirmation to the bank who were only open much shorter hours than I worked.
