Online banks are banks that you primarily (or exclusively) use on the Internet. They allow the customer more choice and flexibility. Online banks often offer better rates than physical banks. They claim they do not have the overhead and expenses associated with brick-and-mortar banks, which allows them to pass the savings on to you.
These banks offer most of the same services that retail banks offer. However, keep these points in mind when dealing with online banks:
Obtain and retain the physical address and telephone number of the bank in the event there is a problem.
