Considering Online Checking Accounts
Monday, August 11th, 2008I’ve been looking into internet savings accounts lately. I’ve had enough of big local banks. Lousy rates and high fees - why stick with them? It’s time for a change, so I’m going to try something new. Sometimes you have to remind yourself that you are lending your money to the bank with these accounts, and they ought to be paying you. It’s not like you get to charge the bank fees when they loan you money, after all. I’ve been checking out WTDirect.com. They’re a pretty good deal. Low fees, good rates, good access. And I can use any bank’s ATM. Frankly, I couldn’t care less about meeting a banker in person. I’d much rather do my banking online with a click or two than wait in line at the branch. You might want to look into the benefits of online banking yourself. Maybe your comments will help settle it.
