Allen,

Thank you for your "inside scoop." Actually, over the last few days I have been able to independently verify much of what you spoke about. I have been monitoring my online payments very closely and checking the BankOne website regularly, and was pleased to discover that, yes, as you suggested, most of them are transmitted on the date that I specify. That makes me feel much better about the whole deal, but I still think BankOne could do a better job making this clear. And I fear that this will be a real deterrent to signing up other users...especially those that don't really understand how this stuff works. There's already a whole lot of ignorance out there about online banking, you know.

Just the other day, when I was in BankOne signing up for this service, I struck up a conversation with the female employee who was helping me , and among other things, I asked her if she herself used the online banking. To my dismay, she answered "No, because my husband is afraid it's not secure." Is that ridiculous or what?!

What a sorry state of affairs when a bank employee cannot convince her own husband of the value of online banking. This tells me we may still be a long ways away from real acceptance. Hope I'm wrong...

Maurice

P.S. BTW, Allen, what do you know about BankOne's timetable for online bill presentment? Anything in the works that you know about?
