How Safe is Personal Online Banking?
July 22, 2008
As the use of the Internet continues to expand, more banks and thrifts are using the convenience and ease of the Web to offer products and services, as well as enhance communication with customers. According to the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC), the Internet offers the potential for safe, convenient ways to shop for financial services and conduct banking business - 24/7. However, to ensure safe banking, customers need to be educated in making good decisions that protect them from costly surprises or even scams.
Protecting Deposits
Whether seeking a traditional bank or online bank that has no physical offices, the FDIC advises to make sure that the institution is legitimate and that deposits are federally insured.
The following are safety guidelines for those considering Internet banking:
1. Seek key information about the bank posted on its Web site. Read the “About Us” section that describes the institution where a brief history of the bank, the official name and address of the bank’s headquarters, and information about its insurance coverage is provided.
2. Be on the watch for fraudulent Web sites. Keep an eye out for copycat Web sites that use a name or Web address very similar to that of a real financial institution. These sites hope to lure in unsuspecting customers who might provide personal information, such as an account number and password.
3. Verify the bank’s insurance status. Customers should look for the familiar FDIC logo or the words “Member FDIC” or “FDIC Insured” on the Web site. Some banks operating on the Internet are not insured by the FDIC, such as those chartered overseas. Customers who choose to bank with these types of banks should know that the FDIC may not insure deposits. Read more
