Opening up an internet bank account is a good idea in the 21st Century. Your yield will be much higher than if you take it into those brick and mortar banks and you won't have to worry about overdraft fees. But what do you need to look for when you open an account?
First off, you want to look at what the rate is going to be for your account. Some places have a minimum amount that you have to invest. Some internet accounts require a minimum deposit of $5,000 or $10,000 to start investing. Ideally, you'll want an account that has no minimum deposit and even one that offers a bonus for a first time deposit. What better way to start your account right than to have some of their own money accruing interest for you?
The second thing you should look for is the same thing you look for when you open a standard checking or savings account. Namely, three things. First, is your money secure per the FDIC rules about having your money secure? Second, what are the monthly fees or other fees for various things? Remember, when you deposit this money, it is YOUR money, not theirs. There shouldn't be a charge say for having a balance of less than $1000. Third, find out what the accessibility is to your money. How long does it take to get your money out of there? The quicker you can get your money, the better. If you can't access your money right away, ask if they provide debit cards or use this money for your online bill payments.
Where do you start? Well, it all depends. Are you looking for a money market account, a savings account, a checking account or a CD? Your rates and fees may vary depending on what your goals are and how much you invest. Some good places to start include the Orange Account from ING Direct, CapitalOne's Money Market Account and GMAC Bank's Money Market Savings. Whichever account you use, always do your research. A better rate may be only a couple of clicks away.
In conclusion, internet banking is a much more lucrative method of earning interest in your account than taking it to the bank, if you're willing to put up with not having checks clear right away or just dealing with 1's and 0's instead of paper money, and with the right research, you can find a great account to help with your financial needs, now and in the future.
