How often do you check your bank accounts online?

My wife thinks I am going batty because I check my bank accounts every day, sometimes 2 times a day if I am waiting on money going in.

Am I going batty?

Stan.

    Depends on the day. Usually once or twice. Its nice to see a big balance.

    I haven't checked for a couple of days now though, but I displayed balance at cashpoint last night and everything looked in order :)

    Same as you OP (but I do have different income streams).

    DH thinks I'm batty too.
    :heartsmil When you find people who not only tolerate your quirks but celebrate them with glad cries of "Me too!" be sure to cherish them. Because these weirdos are your true family.

    I check mine daily to make sure there's no fraudulent transactions there :)

    Daily when possible, for good reason. On checking last Saturday there were two fraudulent card transactions listed (Dominos Pizza, Gravesend and some tandoori takeaway in SE London) which if not spotted could have progressed to a lot more for larger amounts (card cancelled).

    Every day here too - our Abbey account was compromised a few years back and it was only the fact that we check it so often that we found out. Abbey were useless though!
