Bill Rancic on eBillme - Shop and pay with online banking


I have lived long enough to see many things change and one of the greatest changes is the ability to use online banking to take care of my all my financial needs. For those who are under the age of 25, there was a world where you had to rely on brick and mortar banks and their short schedules to accomplish all of you financial business. Online banking has brought the world into our living rooms. I can do my business on my schedule now without having to wait till 10:00 in the morning or hurrying to get it done before 5 in the afternoon. Thank you, online banking, for giving me the ability to live my life on my own schedule.

There are many people older than me who refuse to use online banking for fear of all the identity theft and other scams that are out there. The irony of that is some of those same people have had literal thieves break into their literal homes and make off with all the info necessary to steal their identities anyways. You can’t stop stuff from happening to you by avoiding technology, but I know that the online banking industry works very hard to ensure the most protection possible for its online banking customers. Rest assured, you are no more likely to be stolen from by using online banking than you are not using it. Unless you are going to bury your money in a hole out back and not use any debit or credit cards or checking accounts, you will not be any more

In case you haven’t tried it yet, online banking has so much more to offer than the classic brick and mortar bank. With online banking, you can transfer from one account to another, check your balance, pay all your bills, send money to your college kids, friends and family, invest, and basically, as I said before, do all your financial business online. Combine your online banking with Ebillme or Paypal or a similar company, and now you can even do all your shopping from your living room.

As Bill Rancic, from The Apprentice reiterates for us in this video, online banking is now more secure than ever and also very versatile. Think about it: what millionaire wouldn’t be using online banking? I am sure that Donald Trump, Bill Gates, Oprah Winfrey…all use internet banking, via their accountants.

One advantage to online banking and using Ebillme or Paypal is that it makes it so much easier to get your money returned to you if the product you ordered does not match what your actually thought you ordered. So do not be afraid to use online banking. Free yourself from the schedule of others and see how much peace and serenity you find in your life.
