What online banking services are offered with your bank? What costs are associated with these services?



I currently have my checking accounts with the Abbott Laboratories Credit Union, which offers free online bill pay and that's just about it.

But, Bank of America and Chase probably offer the latest services to keep up with the technology advances. A feature that becoming quite popular is wireless banking through a cell phone, or at least account alerts sent to your email or phone. Also, transferring money to other bank accounts is becoming much easier.

If I close my bank account, and then an online merchant tries to get funds, can they?

I have a paypal account, and I am closing my bank account due to the fact that i'm studying abroad for the next semester. If a customer does a chargeback, will paypal try to take the funds out of my closed bank account? what would happen? and could an online merchant obtain your name/address associated with your bank account?


The bank I worked for would pay the on-line merchant even if your account was closed, as long as it wasn't closed too long. It would put your account in the negative and charge mega-bucks in fees. We could never figure out how long the account needed to be closed in order for that not to happen. The bank cannot give out your address.

Is there a way to search how much ATMs charge for when you use an ATM not associated with your bank?

I was wondering if there is an online search to find out an ATMs surcharge?


There could be two charges. The ATM may charge a fee, that should be posted on the ATM itself. You bank may also charge a fee, that should be stated in the account agreement. It may also be on the bank's web site or you could call the bank and ask. Yes, you could be charged both fees for each foreign transaction.

Why do online banks offer better rates?

I am shopping for a home equity loan. The online banks seem to offer better rates. Are there any pitfalls associated with using an online bank instead of a local bank for a home equity loan


Online banks pretty much operate the same way as land-based banks. The main difference is that online banks typically have less overhead costs than a physical brick-and-mortar bank. These savings is then passed onto the consumers.

On the same token though, banks, both online and offline, are in business to make money. So, don't let your guard down, and keep researching and comparing for the best deal out there. Another thing to remember is that mortgage rates are dependent on indices, so timing is an important factor when taking out a new loan.
