There can be no doubt that online banking has completely transformed the way we manage our personal and business finances. Many of us may not even be able to remember the last time we set foot in the branch of a bank, while some remain sceptical. 

For those who are still not sure, here are six benefits of online banking.

You Don’t Have to Wait for Your Monthly Statement

You can check your bank statement at any time. Simply log in to your online banking and check out your latest transactions. This can help you keep on top of what’s going in and out of your account, which can help with budgeting. You can view statements going back over longer periods too, search by particular payees and specific dates. Being able to check your statements online also means you can spot fraudulent activity much quicker.

Bank at Any Time of the Day or Night

Even if you are lucky enough to live in a town which still has a few traditional highstreet bank branches open, getting along to one to conduct your business can be tricky. Most branches open from 9am to 5pm, which is difficult for people who work during those times. Online banking is open 24/7 meaning you can log on at any time of day or night to conduct your business.

You can also set up standing orders and manage direct debits and standing orders online bank account without having to go along to the branch and fill out forms. 

Safe and Secure

Some people who have so far avoided online banking cite the fear of being hacked as one of the reasons. However, it many ways it is safer than going to a branch. Logging on requires a username, password, passcode and other forms of ID such as card readers. You’ll be told the last time you logged on so you can immediately spot any specific activity. If you are using a mobile banking app on your phone, biometric methods such as fingerprint and face recognition are also used to access your account.
