Internet Banking: Pros and Cons for Your Business
Summary:
More businesses are turning to internet banking, considering it safer than traditional methods. Once supplier details are correctly entered, payments are processed directly to their bank accounts within three working days.
Traditional Banking
Traditional banking involves interacting with real people, but errors can occur. Tellers might enter the wrong amount, or you might face long queues. Also, running out of cheques or forgetting your chequebook can be inconvenient.
Mailing cheques relies on the postal service for timely and accurate delivery, which isn’t always reliable. Checking your account balance traditionally might require waiting for a statement, or enduring lengthy hold times on calls.
Opening Hours
Traditional banking restricts you to standard business hours. In contrast, internet banking is available 24/7, provided you have internet access. Online banking lets you bypass intermediaries, transferring funds directly and accessing bank statements anytime.
Speed
Online banking often handles transfers faster than traditional methods. Transactions can be quicker, and you can access various accounts from a secure site. Past bank statements are instantly available without rummaging through old files.
Offers
Many banks provide exclusive deals for online business customers, like reduced loan setup costs and lower transaction fees on credit cards. Applying for loans online is also more efficient.
Security
Protect your login credentials and never write down your password. Always log out after completing transactions and regularly run anti-spyware software to prevent unauthorized data collection. While there have been past security breaches, modern online banking technology offers enhanced security.
Suitability
Internet banking might not be ideal if you prefer face-to-face interactions or if you’re uncomfortable with large online transactions. However, if you dislike queuing, waiting for statements, and rigid bank hours, online banking’s convenience is unmatched.
Personally, I use a combination of online and traditional banking. Some matters still require face-to-face discussions with a bank manager.
