Banks
In gathering information about interest rate returns on savings I have stumbled onto a whole new concept to me.
Totally online banking? I have never heard of most of these outfits even though they say FDIC insured. Bask Bank? CIBC? LENDING Club? https://www.bankrate.com/landing/sav...xoCsWMQAvD_BwE Any of you have any experience with this? Our local banks are still not paying any interest on savings even though I am sure they have raised their interest rates on loans. I still favor writing checks and putting them in the mail, but the Mrs. does everything on line, kinda scary to me. My daughter pays everything with her phone, even more scarrier. ![]() |

I pay for everything in cash. Which is even scarier apparently to many businesses.

I use online banking through my local bank for everything except income taxes and things I want paper proof of the transaction. Best of both worlds. So I write about 2-3 checks per year. I've never had a problem, just got to be careful if you set up many autopay bills.

The majority of my cash is in Ally, online only. Pays way better than any brick and mortar bank.
However, you can’t really get away with only having an online bank. I basically use Ally for savings and paycheck get deposited and bills paid thru US Bank account. I can get money transferred from one to the other in one business day if needed. |

Completely online banks are typically industrial loan charter banks. There aren't that many at this time and typically they're based out of Utah and like two or three other states. They have a de novo period once the charter issued. They are subject to FFIEC, audits and totally legitimate.

I've been using Ally online for a couple of years. It does all my bank needs (which are few). I get a good rate on Savings, better than the Credit Union I left - though it did drop during the past years - but it is rising again the last couple months.
I direct deposit there and pay bills online from there. No problems The only drawback so far, is when I decided to cash in my coin jugs and the local banks declined unless I had an account. I finally found a small bank that did it.

I keep all my assets under my mattress or buried in the ground.

Write checks maybe once a year. Usually to a contractor doing work on the house that chose that option. I always like to give then a choice to report the income to the man or not. Do Taxes myself with tax software. Proof is the IRS received receipts. Keep majority of cash in money markets. Have savings in a couple of banks and transfer money as needed.

I've written only 2 checks since 2006. One for a wedding gift since I mailed it when I couldn't attend and another when I wanted to pay with a money order and they wouldn't accept that form of payment.
Savings accounts are a waste. Set up a money market account at a brokerage to keep your spare cash, which should not be excessive If you have a large amount of cash, you're losing out. (Unless your hiding it from Uncle Sam)
