Online banking (or Internet banking) is a term used for performing transactions, payments etc. over the Internet through a bank, credit union or building society's secure website. This allows customers to do their banking outside of bank hours and from anywhere where Internet access is available. In most cases a web browser is utilized and any normal Internet connection is suitable. No special software or hardware is usually needed.
Features
Online banking usually offers such features as:
Bank statements, with the possibility to import data in a personal finance program such as Quicken or Microsoft Money
Electronic bill payment
Funds transfer between a customer's own checking and savings accounts, or to another customer's account
Investment purchase or sale

There are a growing number of so-called virtual banks that operate exclusively online. These online banks have low costs compared to traditional banks and so they often offer higher interest rates.
