Online Banking

Welcome to the Online Banking section of our website. The opportunity to access Banking facilities via the Internet was first made available in 1990 by the Wells Fargo Bank in the United States of America. It was not until May 1997 that similar facilities were introduced to the UK by the Nationwide Building Society. Since that time other providers have launched banking facilities via the Internet and many millions of people have opened accounts with the online banking providers.

Many customers were first interested in these new services due to the highly competitive products offered by this new section of the banking sector. The product offerings have in the past reflected the lower running costs that the new Online Banking organisations have over the other banks that have a large branch network.

Attractive product offerings are not the only reasons some people have decided to change their banking arrangements. Internet banking offers a new level of control over your money. Those with Internet banking facilities can quickly and easily move money between accounts, which sometimes mean they can achieve better investment returns with their cash.

Internet banking customers also benefit from being able to pay their bills at a time that best suits their lifestyle, whether or not they choose to log on during normal banking hours.
