Mike, ATLANTA, June 9 /PRNewswire/ -- Net.B@nk(TM), Member FDIC (Nasdaq: NTEK) (http://www.netbank.com), the largest FDIC-insured bank operating solely on the Internet, has more than doubled its account base since January 1, 1999 from more than 17,000 to over 35,000, CEO D.R. Grimes announced today. Grimes attributed the growth to the success of the bank's new marketing and branding strategy, its high-yielding, low-fee deposit products and its superior customer service. I believe that both the 35k and the 37k #'s are short. From previous research done: Message 9936846 BT

I disagree with the account number. I think it is more likely that customers would open one account to learn how the system works. I Netbanked for over a year on a single account. Recently I added an account with bill pay and I am hooked! I do agree that the customer # is less than the account #, but my theory also supports continued account growth as people get "get hooked" on Netbanking.
