**Access all online accounts from one log in!!**

here is a website from First Direct, a sistering company to HSBC, that enables you to access all of your online accounts, from current, savings, credit card to loans accounts.

once you've registered you have a screen that shows you all of your allowances and total amounts, where its much easier to transfer money to and from your accounts to paying bills without having to remmeber all of your passwords and customer numbers for all of your internet accounts.

check out the site:
http://www.firstdirect.com/

once on the site and registered, you have to click 'internet banking plus' type in one of your chosen passwords and pin numbers, and your information of all online accounts can be viewed once you've linked them to this first direct internet banking plus account.

makes life much easier

    Not very different from the Egg Money Manager, but the same issue remains - to what extent will FD assume liability in case of Internet fraud, etc. Today, all banks that I bank with offer full protection (though if recent news items are to be reviewed, that trend is fast changing)

    The problem here is that it is quite likely that a user is left in the lurch if there is an internet fraud and he's a user of such a website where he can view all his accounts.

    Am going to register for the EMM nevertheless and enrol a seldom used account to take advantage of their £10 give-away ;D
