Many Canadians are discovering the benefits of online banking for their personal accounts. According to a nationwide poll conducted in 2002 by The Strategic Counsel, 16% of Canadians do most of their banking online – twice as many as in 2000. The same survey reported that about one third of Canadians do at least some of their banking online.^‡

Business benefits

Merchants can also save time and increase efficiency by moving their business banking online. You can pay your company's bills electronically or transfer funds from one account to another, whenever it's convenient for you, day or night.

And there's no need to wait for the arrival of your monthly statement to monitor your account or verify deposits. You can check your account balance and transactions quickly, conveniently and securely. You can even pay your taxes online. By using online banking to manage your business' finances, you'll spend less time going into your branch to make transactions or update records. With an Internet-enabled personal computer, you can access your accounts from anywhere, whether you're at home, in your office or on a business trip.

The ease of EasyWeb

Some online banking programs, such as EasyWeb™ Internet banking from TD Canada Trust, can even help improve your record keeping. Through EasyWeb, you can download your account activity to Quicken^®3 or other financial management software, then print out a summary of your transactions. And with the 128-bit encryption technology used by EasyWeb, you can feel confident that your account and transaction information will remain confidential.
