[CS-FSLUG] OT: Online Bank

>> Fred, you could be quite right, although I figure since one's finances now travel through the cloud whether one likes it or not (think about how most checks are cleared as ACH electronic transfers, for example), I worry less than I use to. "If you can't beat 'em, join 'em." :-)

Heheheh. :-)

I like my bank, although they've gotten on my nerves by switching my legacy accounts to a new type that includes a monthly fee unless I do direct deposits each month. Grrrr...

> Well, I know some who've had their accounts messed with, and they were ALL "on the cloud," NOT local banks. Not that it's a 100% safe, but it's a much better "bet" than a large non-local entity, AND much easier to deal with and straighten out something that's gone very wrong. I've lived long enough to have earned being paranoid and I'm not about to give it up and with out present Fed. Gov't...............  O:-) 

It isn't being paranoid if they really are out to get you....
