GALLOPING ONLINE WITH THE BLACK HORSE

Advantages: Track account movements and transfer instantly between accounts. Apply for e-savngs account.
Disadvantages: Access code device doesn't work overseas

... GALLOPING ONLINE WITH THE BLACK HORSE I have been banking with Lloyds Bank (now LloydsTSB) for a long time. For the last eight or nine years, most of my transactions have been online. I had a few worries when Lloyds Bank and the TSB (Trustee Savings Bank) merged, but it didn?t seem to affect customer service as much as I had expected, and my loyalty seemed to be still appreciated. In 1999 I was introduced to the internet, and I had my first e-mail address. I'm not quite sure when LloydsTSB started offering internet banking, but I was quick to take advantage of it. I was sent a user ID number in the post, and I chose my own password. I had to choose a memorable phrase of which three characters would be selected at random (such as the fifth, ninth and eleventh). Drop-down menus of letters and numbers ensured...

...The littlewoods site can be accessed using the address www.littlewoods-online.co.uk. SImple! When the page comes up, ususally a pop up advertisement appears too. Dont immediately close it, as they sometimes have a super special offer, that you dont see anyhwere else.! At the moment it is advertising the sale on branded products!. To use te site you have to be A) a littlewoods customer and B) registered to use the online facility. If you are not just fill in the relevant forms and hey presto!

HSBC - Online Banking

Advantages: Saves lots of time
Disadvantages: Very few

...I have had a current account with the HSBC for many years and have not had any problems or hassles that I can think of, I know that many of you will have had bad experiences for one reason or another but I have not. My main moan however is that over the last couple of years it has become increasingly difficult to contact my branch or to see someone in person as most branches only open a few hours a day and now even the two main branches where I live are no longer staffed on Saturdays. As I both work full time Monday to Fridays and I also have my own business I was finding it ever more difficult to get to a branch and so when I was told about their online banking facility I decided to give it a go. Of course I had the usual concerns about security but a friend had recommended the online banking to me and I was assured that in the event...

Online Retail 1 High Street Retail 0

Advantages: Some like it hot - Hot deal that is
Disadvantages: Bad for your credit card

...'Online Retail 1 High Street Retail 0 It is getting very clear now that since the downturn last year the recession has dug up some unwanted statistics concerning identity theft ; it has soured since the last count over 14 months ago, to heights of a 36% rise compared to 2008. - The increase is due to the evolving digital revolution that has hit the High Street into touch regarding to deals and offers that will change the way people shop for a generation. The statistic estimates 4.3 Million people have suffered this crime through the hands of criminal gang cartels because of the downturn, as many individuals are naïve to internet protocols and criminal systems in gaining access to bank details via the ISP Internet Server Provider. Online deals serve as a 'honey-trap' to the victims who then divulge their credit card information...

Eve Online; Thumbs up

Advantages: Lot`s of detail and content in the game
Disadvantages: will take at least a month to even scratch the surface of game play

...I?ve been playing eve for 4 years now, which should give you an idea to how long and how addictive the game can be. I?ll try and summarise what I think are the important things to know; Eve is a MMO (massive multiplayer online) game, you chose and play a character that will inhabit a single universe with anywhere between 10 thousand and 50 thousand other players depending on the time of day. These players will be spread over some 5 thousand solar systems, all linked together though a complex network of stargates. Like real life these people will be diverse in their interests and goals. One of the mixed blessings of eve is that CCP (the game developers) allows for a very flexible environment for people to play; Player cons, griefing and espionage take place on a daily biases, piracy in a real sense can be a legitimate career...

Hassle-free online banking

Advantages: check account balances and details, transfer money, pay bills online
Disadvantages: you don't get to chat to other customers while waiting in a queue

...We've had our main current and savings accounts with Abbey National for many years now. Initially there was a small branch within a few minutes' walk from our home, but unfortunately that closed down, and while most transactions happen automatically, it was a bit of a nuisance having to drive four or five miles to an Abbey branch if we needed to do anything out of the ordinary. Telephone banking was all very well in theory, but any time we tried to use the service we would be put 'on hold' for an unknown amount of time, and often gave up before reaching the relevant person to speak to (although on the rare occasions we did reach someone, they were extremely helpful). So we were delighted with the introduction of Abbey National online banking. We were already somewhat used to secure online transactions, and while I had initial...
