Of course Internet banks are a good idea, and they have their place. The question is: which is the right one for you? The best way to find out which credit card, current account or more generally online banking services will be the most appropriate for you and your needs is to visit the online banking sites and check what kind of offers and services are available. This way, you'll see if the features (access to the accounts, transfer facilities, general ease of use) correspond to your expectations.

Quicker, easier, cheaper
What Investment - London,UK – 27 Nov 2006
Using the internet for savings and investments could save you a mountain of hassle, not to mention money. According to Ofcom, 11.1 million UK homes and businesses had installed broadband internet connections by the end of March 2006. Research from Alliance & Leicester has shown a 63 per cent rise in the number of people managing their current account online since 2003. The bank says that, of those using internet banking, 78 per cent now do all or most of it online, compared to 39 per cent two years ago, and a third of British adults with online access wish they could deal with all their bills via the internet.

The end of free banking?
LONDON (Reuters) - HSBC has become the first major bank to say it will start charging for a First Direct current account, raising the prospect that other lenders will follow suit and end free current-account banking.
HSBC's online banking arm First Direct is to charge 10 pounds per month for customers who do not deposit 1,500 pounds per month or maintain an average balance of 1,500 pounds.
Sources at several leading banks told Reuters in April that free current account banking could end as banks sought to recoup money lost as regulators clamped down on fees in other areas.
