T: Send your comments to Jim Douglass, Matt Lewis and Pete Kight. CKFR is obviously betting that the vast majority of people will approach on-line banking through their banks, rather than directly over the web. This may be an incorrect assumption, particularly if somebody like ORCC makes it easy as ABC. Computer savvy (typically younger) people are much less likely to work through their banks, and appreciate the simplicity of a few clicks to an on line account. Still, somebody needs to provide the back end for even these folks. Why can't CKFR do it? Charlie

T: I looked at the site you referenced. It is run by Online Resources and Communications Company (ORCC). What they have apparently done is an incredible community service for all of us. Because once you click on a given state and it lists the banks that are available, it shows every bank that offers home banking, whether they are an ORCC customer or not. I think CKFR owes them some thanks for doing that, because most of the banks listed are CKFR customers, especially the large ones. That means that ORCC is steering consumers to CKFR banks. I think that's great! BTW, as a QKN '98 user, you have a list of every bank that offers home banking via QKN. One of the tabs near the bottom is labeled "Online", click it and there is a button for "Financial Institutions" which will take you to a drop down list. Scroll through it and find a bank in your area. If your current bank is on the list, you can enroll online right then and there. If not, go open an account at the bank on the list that you choose, then come back and go through the online enrollment using your new account numbers. Once you get set up, you can download all your banking transactions into your register, transfer between accounts within the bank, pay bills, and receive ebills. Good luck
