Why Banking Works - Financial Crisis

Tuesday, March 31st, 2009

When it comes to financial management, even business professionals reach a consensus as to what is the most effective, reliable, and secure means to manage your money, and that is through the bank. Your bank is an effective means to manage your bills payments, keep track of your transactions, receive your income and whatever extraneous cash inflow, and help you save effectively.

The last one is perhaps the most obvious feature of the bank that people do not take advantage of. A bank, being a financial intermediary, can actually help you save money efficiently. Heres how.

First, you are required to keep what is called a maintaining balance in your bank account. This means that even if you make deductions in your account, the bank requires you to save a bare minimum in order to continue enjoying their services. And yes, that translates to a forced saving on your part.

Another feature of bank saving is the fact that you are free to continuously add to your account whenever you can. Otherwise, your money will remain safe in your bank. Moreover, while its staying in the bank, you are actually earning interest rates on your money.

How To Find Errors In Your Bank Account

Monday, January 5th, 2009

Don't lose hard earned Money. Chances are you are owed $1000's by your Bank and you will never know!

If you want to find out how to stop the banks from taking advantage of you through errors and faulty systems, then keep your eyes glued to this page for the next 3 minutes; you are in for some shocking surprises.

The banks have probably already overcharged you many times this year without even knowing it!
I don't know about you, but I work hard to pay off my mortgage as quickly as possible. Then to have the bank make mistakes and incorrectly take money from my account is not only unfair, but insulting.

I never considered it necessary to check the calculation of my bank statement. I didn't think there would be a need. I couldn't have been more wrong. Every day people are receiving bank statements in the mail for their mortgages, saving accounts, personal loans and overdrafts that they assume are correct, but they are totally mistaken.

I can't believe how totally naive I had been, just accepting that the banks never actually made a mistake and my statements were 100% accurate. Now surely these mistakes are just tiny errors involving a few cents here and there? Well guess again.

Banks Are Making Mistakes On Accounts Just Like Yours .... Every Day.

Recently a major Australian bank found they had overcharged fees on 55,000 customer's accounts and it totalled $52,000,000. That's right $52 million dollars.

That's an average of $945 for each person.

What I find pretty amazing about this is that the bank found the problem NOT the customers. That means that fifty five thousand people didn't notice the best part of one thousand dollars missing from their bank account.

You may be thinking "I know I'd sure notice $1,000 missing from my account." ... but I am willing to bet you $200 right now that if you called those 55,000 people mentioned above they'd have said exactly the same thing before the bank informed them of the little blunder they made on their account.

So why didn't they notice the $945 overcharges?

The problem is that bank statements can be difficult to read and are not always what they seem. Some of the errors are very difficult to locate if you don't know what to look for.
