There are many online only banks. This is what I was referring to. Not online banking which is of course offered by every bank.
-----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Wayne Merritt Sent: Monday, December 01, 2014 11:24 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: Online banking and iOS app support Regarding online banking: what you are talking about is offerred by many of the banks people have mentioned. I have not heard of a bank which only operates online, though I wouldn't be surprised if one existed. I don't know if the "online bank" would exist very well in our society since most people like the option of going to a physical location and talking to someone if an issue or concern comes up. Or, if they simply want to deal with a real person. Most of the major banks and credit unions have online banking services, such as Chase, Wells-Fargo, Bank of America, and many others. I use Chase and I have had no issues with their app. I can even transfer money between accounts in the Chase app. I used to call the toll free number for Chase once or twice a day to hear my balance and other information. Now, I open the app. Chase offers a service where you can sign-up for different email alerts, such as low balance alerts, when checks or transactions clear your account, and many other kinds. This is another way that I stay on top of my accounts. Online banking is like Facebook: you can do as much or as little as you want. Some banks, like Chase, offer online demonstrations so you can see the kinds of information you would find in an account summary. Go to your bank's site and see if you can find something like this.
