> Fair enough. I used to worry about everything from identity theft to having my account cleaned out at first but years without any issues at all has led me to believe (perhaps incorrectly!) that, provided one takes reasonable precautions, the convenience and ease of online banking and bill paying far outweighs the risks. 🙂

Eventually, I’m sure we’ll be forced to do everything online, and I know it’ll be more convenient that way. We might be a little more eager to make the switch if the bank’s office weren’t right across the street from my husband’s employer :).

I still pay the vast majority of my bills via check, and I see no reason to switch. I don’t write many checks any more for anything but bill paying, though.
