TEXT I Electronic banking Key Words and phrases:
Electronic banking started in the early 1980s both in the United States and the United Kingdom. It really took off with the arrival of the World Wide Web, when traditional banks offered their clients account access online, while some new banks started operating on the Web only. Today, almost half of all Americans bank online. Predecessors Online or e-banking was preceded by home banking, which allowed clients to access their accounts and perform basic transactions over the phone. It was introduced in the mid-1970s in order to reduce back-office check-processing costs. Robert Spicer, Vice President of Chevy Chase, a federal savings bank, says that it failed to generate enough consumer interest to become cost effective. First Online Banking Services in the United States According to " Banking and Finance on the Internet, " edited by Mary J. Cronin, online banking was first introduced in the early 1980s in New York. Four major banks Citibank, Chase Manhattan, Chemical and Manufacturers Hanover offered home banking services. Chemical introduced its Pronto services for individuals and small businesses in 1983. It allowed individual and small-business clients to maintain electronic checkbook registers, see account balances, and transfer funds between checking and savings accounts. Pronto failed to attract enough customers to break even and was abandoned in 1989. Other banks had a similar experience.
