Is Online Banking Just A Fad Or Is It Here To Stay?

Since 2002 there has been a sharp increase of the number of people who use online banking. The figure that was published in 2002 has since grown by 47%, which is a drastic increase and demonstrates just how popular online banking has become in recent years. This figure--put into perspective--shows that 53 million eligible Americans are now using online banking as their prime method of transferring money and paying bank bills.

This figure is roughly 44% of American Internet users; and one quarter of all adults now say that they use online banking to pay bills and check bank statements. In a typical day, 13 million Americans will sign on their online banking account and do the necessary transactions. This is a 58% increase compared to late 2002.

People consider a number of different reasons when they decide to sign up for online banking. Many customers who sign up for online banking have a fast broadband connection, which makes the experience better. Sixty-three percent of people who have broadband at home also said that they have tried online banking.

This number is compared to 32% of those that have dial-up connections and have tried online banking. Additionally, 51% of people who have six or more years Internet experience have said that they have tried online banking, compared to 27% who have less than six years experience. Age also plays a part in the amount of people who have tried online banking: 60% between the ages of 28 and 39 have tried online banking. However, for people over 60, that number drops dramatically to only 25%.

People do trust online banking and are truly taking well to it. With step-by-step guides available for many sites, online banking is making it much easier and more convenient to manage your financial life.
