I think there's another one called Allied bank.

There's Simple (no really, its' just called Simple). It's an online-only
bank, offering very few fees, good ATM coverage, an app they are working to
make fully accessible but that people say already works well with VoiceOver,
and other features. There are others, but that's the only one I have dealt
with. currently, I'm waiting for my invitation - you can't just sign up, you
must request an invitation and wait until a slot opens up. They also can
only do personal accounts, no small business yet.

This is what I was referring to. Not online banking which is of course
offered by every bank.

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.

Good luck,
Wayne

For what it's worth you can always download the banks app and play 
with it even though you don't have an account. It won't tell you all 
but will help a bit.

Yes, I'm familiar with these traditional banks and their apps. One 
thing to keep in mind with USBank is that they charge you 50 cents 
for each check you deposit mobiley. I just find the nickel and 
diming the brick and mortar banks to be off-putting.

Off hand, I don't recall the last time I had to physically go into a 
bank about an issue. This is why my interest in an online bank 
alternative.

They're all going to more or less do the same thing. I was just 
curious as to the iOS accessibility with their apps since they're 
not going to be as big as the more well-known banks.

Hi,
The US Bank app is quite accessible.  I only use it for checking our 
Visa card, but I suspect all the other features are equally 
accessible.
The Bank of America app is completely accessible.  You can take a 
picture of a check and deposit it, but if you have no vision, you 
have to make sure and figure out which is the front and back and 
whether it is upside down or not.
I've not heard much about Wells Fargo's app, but since you have an 
account with them, you probably should check it out.
I know nothing about the various online banking companies.  I 
personally prefer to deal with a company that if there is a real 
issue, I can go into a physical office and talk with a manager.

HTH,
Richard

Hello list,

So I need to open a small business checking account. I could go with 
either USBank or Wells Fargo as I already have accounts with them, 
but I've been thinking of just going the online bank rout. I was 
curious of anyone uses an exclusive online bank and if they have 
reasonably accessible iOS apps? The typical stuff. Depositing 
checks, bank transfers, account balance, etc.

I may just end up going with one of the banks I mentioned, but since 
it's not like I can test drive an online option without going 
through the process of opening an account, I thought I'd ask.

Nerd Wallet has a good breakdown of online banking options in general:
http://www.nerdwallet.com/blog/banking/nerdwallets-top-online-checki
ng-accounts/

If it matters, I was leaning towards Ally. Simple looked like a good 
option, but I believe they're not accepting new customers at the moment.
