Overview:

Internet banking means accessing your bank account and carrying out financial transactions through the internet on your smartphone, tablet or computer.  Most banks let you use the internet to:
   •  Check your bank balance at any time.
   •  Pay your bills and transfer money to other accounts.
   •  Check your bank statements and go paperless (stop getting paper bills sent to you).
   •  Set up or cancel direct debits and standing orders.
   •  Check on any investments you might have that are linked to your account.

This learning session uses PowerPoints from SeniorNet’s major sponsor – Westpac Banking Corporation. The purpose is to help you feel comfortable and confident about using Internet Banking.  You do not have to bank with Westpac to take this workshop. The systems of other banks may operate differently but in a similar way.
