How about a single site, a sharp site, that has online trading, online banking, e-commerce links/partnerships, and lending services? Think that could help?

Absolutely, but people still have to know about the site. We know about USAB because we're investors/traders and we dig around for good stocks. But how will USABanc.com make people from outside the stock trading world go to their site? I definitely think it's possible, I just think it'll take some capital (maybe USAB already has this capital; they did say in the Broadcast.com interview that they were well capitalized and well positioned to take on the internet initiative.

I think the race to have one single site with all financial needs has just begun and USAB has a headstart over some. But nothing prevents others from joining the race. In fact, NetBank already has banking and online investing. Of course if USABanc.com had one fourth of NetBank's market cap, all current shareholders would be very happy.

EGRP and NTBK are already there. At least they are much further along than USAB is. So far, all USAB has is a website that is non-functional and a CD auction service in which thaey have sold (1??) CD. The website is annoying. Might be interesting if you are a kid, but kids don't pay bills and trade stocks. Right now, USAB is just mouthing off. As far as I am concerned, it is a trading stock until they show some concrete evidence that they have a product.
