Pros and Cons of Online Banking

If your bank offers the convenience of online banking, it can help you save on your costs in the long run. It can also provide a convenient way to check your balance, read your statements, pay your bills and transfer funds between accounts. You may also be able to apply for a loan online. Fees may be lower than traditional banking and you will save money on postage that you traditionally use to mail bill the old-fashioned way.

If you are concerned about online security, be sure to read your bank's security policy to ensure that your information is encrypted properly and transmitted safely.

You should be sure that you have the appropriate virus protection, spy software and firewall installed on your computer.

Although the benefits of online banking are undeniable, there are some inconveniences and concerns of which customers should be aware. Many people have difficulty relying on the security of online transactions, fearing the very real possibility of identity theft. If you have these concerns, obtain safety information and guarantees in writing before beginning an account. There may be a waiting period between signing up for online banking and receipt of the ID and password necessary for account activation, so be sure that you have cash on hand to avoid yet another trip to the bank.

Bank Privacy Statements

Have you looked closely at the privacy statement your bank or credit card issuer mailed you, or did you toss them in the trash?

Financial companies are required by law to notify you of your privacy rights when you open a credit card, bank account, or other financial account.

Reputable companies will give you your options about staying on, or being removed from their mailing list and list they share or sell with other companies. If you do not want your information shared you need to contact your bank and request that your name and information not be shared.

Re: Kevin's Case Study #11 - A New Forum Category? Re: Kevin's Case Study #11 - A New Forum Category? - [quote:31qpen1j]This is just my opinion, but I consider the prospective categories, Online Marketing, Internet Marketing and Online Promotion, as being pretty much one and the same - just different words that different people use.[/quote:31qpen1j] I completely agree! Those are all just "internet marketing" as far as I am concerned. And I normally would have voted for internet marketing, however I chose social media marketing simply because there are more than enough IM forums out there already.
Kevin's Case Study #11 - A New Forum Category? Kevin's Case Study #11 - A New Forum Category? - Hi Everyone, 2009 is a new year and I'd like to create a new forum category to jazz things up! In the past, there's been some interest voiced about adding a "Social Media Marketing", "Online Marketing", "Internet Marketing" or "Online Promotion" category. I'll implement [u:1g2tv6tf]ONE[/u:1g2tv6tf] of those new categories, but can someone first tell me what the difference would be between the existing "Marketing" section and one of those new options mentioned above? Thanks
Re: Should Evan add a "Social Media Marketing" category to the f Re: Should Evan add a "Social Media Marketing" category to the f - [quote="BuzzAroundBooks":p78047w2]Just as an update, Evan has extended the poll's expiration date and says he'd like to see at least 25 "yes" votes before implementing the new category. Moreover, it would probably be called "Online Marketing" instead of Social Media Marketing".[/quote:p78047w2] Okay - I have a request -- can the title be changed to "Online Marketing"? The reason I'm asking is because people may not know what social media marketing is , while that would make me vote for it to learn more, but not every thinks like that. Also, online marketing could capture more attention when people spot in on the list. Shri
