Egg Internet BankingEgg’s internet banking services differ somewhat from ordinary internet banking due to the fact that customers are not offered current accounts.
But standard online banking features such as accessing accounts, making money transfers, viewing statement and balance information are all available as expected. Payments to accounts can be made using a financial address book, which allows users to add and edit accounts.
Money can be withdrawn from savings accounts, although very large withdrawals, additional mortgage payments and payment holidays need to be handled over the phone. Furthermore, Egg Pay - the bank’s award-winning innovation of money by email - can also be fully administered online.
