 | | To enjoy the full benefits of on-line banking, you should understand all that on-line banking can offer, consider some questions to ask before signing up, and know how to get help if you need it. |
 | | On-line banking is a service provided by many banks, thrifts, and credit unions that allows you to conduct banking transactions over the Internet using a personal computer, mobile telephone, or handheld computer (such as a "personal digital assistant"). |
 | | Also, if you use a bank that is not licensed in the United States, your deposits may not be insured by the FDIC, and you may not benefit from other important consumer protections offered in the United States. |
