Using a favorite Internet SEARCH source, conduct a general online Internet SEARCH for ‘Online Banking’. Your SEARCH should initiate several websites related to this topic. Visit several of these websites and browse their content. After visiting several websites, discuss your findings here with the rest of the class. What do you think about online banking? Do online banking services compare favorably to your present banking institution?

RBC online banking is one of the more widely used banks in Canada today, and it offers both personal and business for online banking accounts, so regardless of which category you find yourself, you can get an account that meets your needs.

With it’s personal online banking account, there are many benefits that are noteworthy. First, you can pay your bills while out and about, and on the road. If you don’t happen to be near an RBC branch, it isn’t a problem-just pull up your online account and pay your bills from there.

It’s a shame more people don’t take advantage of online banking, and particular RBC banking, as it truly is one of the biggest time savers today. Particularly if you make a lot of transactions and withdrawals, why drive down to the bank every single time, when you can handle it either online or from the phone?

This is helpful for everybody, but is an absolute necessity if you travel outside of Canada often, because there obviously won’t be a RBC banking branch anywhere near you, and your only choice when accessing your funds is to do so on the internet or telephone.

If you are at all concerned with security when it comes to RBC online banking, rest assured that this really isn’t an issue. They have come up with a one hundred percent guarantee that says that if somebody else makes a transaction on your account without your permission, you will get paid one hundred percent of the money they took out.

They do this because, assuming you followed all the guidelines, such as logging out of your account after using it (especially on a public computer!) and a few other variables, it will be their fault, and therefore they want to keep you as a satisfied customer.

Rest assured, however, you will not usually have to worry about taking advantage of this, as hacking into bank accounts is incredibly tough nowadays, so you probably won’t ever have to use this with RBC online banking.

This is what it says:

12/13/2007 Purchase PURCHASE MCDONALD’S F10584 12/12 $4.67 $232.77

Does the “processing” mean it has yet to come out of or go into my account? Or has it already?

53 million internet users or 44% of the internet community use internet or online banking for processing their own transaction. There is a staggering 47% increase in online users as compared to the total number of American online user according to online banking report 2005.

Two very significant factors play a very important role in explaining this unprecedented increase in the use of online banking services:-

1)There is the availability of internet itself. With broadband in most homes, more and more people are using the internet and are therefore more comfortable with it. The initial fear of this technology is being replaced with the positive benefits that internet brings to everyone.

Research suggests that the 28 to 39 year old age group are more likely to use the online banking service. This makes sense because this sector of the market is made up of high earners. It is no co-incidence that this age group; by virtue of their familiarity with this technology, use the internet and online banking so that they can make better use of their time.

2)Online or internet banking offers the flexibility and the ease with which one can conduct ones financial affairs online. Imagine the scenario, you are on a train from Inverness in Scotland to London and you have 6 hours before you board a plane to Atlanta.

There is an argument for you to connect your laptop to the internet via your data card on your phone to sort things out before reaching the airport. I have heard of people working frantically to finish things off because they are leaving to go on holiday or going on business.

There is no need to rush around because the internet is here and that means you can log into your online banking account from any where in the world and do the business. Your password is your access to your own online account and the rest is just a couple of clicks away.

If I can pay all my bills online, transfer money between my other accounts and increase my monthly mortgage instalment this month because of windfall, where is the downside?

There are security and safe transactions issues associated with internet banking such as:-

1)People steeling your identity by hacking into your account and then spending your money. This problem is not as wide spread as media would suggest.

2)You giving your account information to unscrupulous online tricksters. You can fall prey to e-mail scams asking you to update your information because of some security issues. Such e-mails can persuade you to pass your sensitive account details for fraudsters to copy, sell and distribute to criminals across the world. 3)If you keep your account/password information in your wallet then in the event of your wallet being stolen or lost your secure data can end up finding itself in the hands of criminals..

Finally, the benefits of online banking out way the disadvantages of this service. You can minimise the risk of fraud by implementing your own security. Simple measures to keep your account information to yourself like memorising your password and not replying to e-mails asking for your information to be updated will go a long way to protect you against online fraud. If hackers hack into the banks security system and steel all your money then the bank’s own insurance will make your loss good. So there is no issue there for you to be concerned about.

Historically banks were institutions that held your money under lock and key. Times are changing, with the internet redefining the banking sector over the last five years. Do not be confused as it continues to develop, the many names it goes by all mean the same thing electronic, online and PC banking are all just synonyms traditional banking services provided through a secure internet portal.

Traditional banks have monitored the popularity and growth of the internet, and realising customers wanted greater control of their affairs, have created their own internet banking web sites. Customers now have the freedom to securely perform their banking 24 hours a day 7 days a week, where they can pay bills and set up recurring savings or payments, monitor check clearances and perform other tasks like transfers and balance enquiries through an internet connection. The banks also benefit from a lesser need for staff due to the migration to internet banking where customers serve themselves.

The purest form on online banking is the virtual bank, where the only place they exist is in cyberspace. These banks, and all other internet banking continue to grow in popularity because they are convenient, saving customers time and money. To help the growth and assist customers to make the change, many traditional banks offer minimal fee or completely free transfers to help customers migrate to their online banking service. Others will also enable you to set up online banking by simply transferring your funds by check.

Internet banking has revolutionalized banking with immediate global access to your bank accounts using a secure internet connection. Paying bills, transferring funds and just plain monitoring your account are all possible with minimal stress whether you are ravelling, holidaying or working anywhere in the world.
