Internet Banking: Compare Online Banks For Your Savings Needs
Banks across the mountains are failing, merging, closing, being “bailed out”, or being given TARP money whether or not they need or shortage it. With all the mergers and acquisitions lately, it’s hard to know what bank will look out for your interests. Perhaps, like me, you may have discovered that the bank you’ve had for a few years is all of a sudden owned by one that you aren’t too happy about (due to some previous negative history).
So what do you do when you don’t feel your money is safe, even in your own bank?
If, because of the banking effort’s upheaval, you are looking for a new home for your money — or at least a pit stop for your paycheck between pay day and bill due dates — then there are a few things to keep in be troubled. This may be a good time to review and evaluate the companies you’d like to do business with, with a fresh eye.

Internet banks?
Do you use one for checking and/or savings? What are the benefits and drawbacks of your bank? Of internet banking in miscellaneous?
I have intercontinental experience with Internet banks. I used wingspan.com until BankOne shut it down. Then I switched to NetBank in 2001. I have been relatively jubilant with NetBank for my regular checking and savings accounts.
Subsequently, I opened accounts with ING Direct and later HSBC Command for funds that I wanted to keep readily available on a few days' notice. I like the ING Direct website haler, but HSBC Direct has a much better interest rate. I have had HSBC Direct since November 2005 and ING Direct since November 2004.
Benefits of NetBank: to some degree low minimum to avoid fees, free Bill Pay service, competitive interest rates, functional and competent web place, excellent phone support.
Drawbacks of NetBank: Won't accept 3rd party checks or credit postcard checks for deposit, somewhat limited ATM network, web site goes down for maintenance on Sunday nights at midnight Eastern days for a couple of hours.
Overall, I give NetBank a "9" out of 10, and I am not comtemplating switching.
