Searching for online services
It is important to shop around when trying to decide which online bank to use. As well as internet banks, also ask existing banking providers, and other high street banks, to see what they can offer. Remember, the more competitive rates are generally found with online-only banks.
Consider all the charges and account features when choosing a bank and try out the software before agreeing. Other features of the account that should be checked out include what sort of information can be viewed online, the presentation of this information and how simple it is to perform the sort of tasks the user will be carrying out regularly.
Also, be wary of online savings accounts that pay suspiciously high rates of interest. These accounts are usually a way of luring new customers with attractive interest rates, but once on-board the bank will slash the rate. These 'loss-leading' deals are popular among those who are vigilant and are willing to move their money and then jump ship.
