Hey folks...
Finally, a relaxing (long) weekend at home...
Anyway, I was at the grocery on Sat., and "Online Investor" magazine caught my eye (Nov/Dec 1998). More importantly, the article "Virtual Checkbook - Online Banking Comes into its Own"
Not a bad article, very positive on CKFR, AOL, Quicken, etc. The article also posted some very interesting links, most notably the Bank Rate Monitor, at
bankrate.com
they give a layperson's overview of home banking at:
bankrate.com
and discuss TP at:
bankrate.com
Good Quote from article:
The TransPoint venture will spark "quick, competitive response in the form of other partnerships among billers and/or technology companies and banks," predicts Scott Smith, an electronic commerce analyst with Current Analysis, a Sterling, Va., information technology firm. That's despite the fact that "Citibank does not have a stellar record for successfully deploying new technologies," Smith adds.
Lastly, they have a great page that reviews the overall design and userfriendliness of about 50 banks at:
bankrate.com
notably, Wells Fargo has the highest rating in the bunch...
Regards, RK
P.S. -- Also, just wanted to throw in my two cents and thank Bob Gintel for his reassuring post...
