About once a week to make sure pay's gone in (joys of working through multiple agencies and being paid weekly) - for someone who used to file bank statements unopened until I had a stiff drink in me to brace for the pain - that's a decent turn-around.
Just switching to a joint account and I know hubby is a lot more thorough about checking online several times a week- I just tend to have a very good mental tally of how much money I should have in at any one time and scarily I'm not usually much out.Little miracle born April 2012, 33 weeks gestation and a little toughie!0 -
Daily.
I have to budget quite stringently and i am also paranoid about fraud.(c) Broke in Yorkshire. ( there are worse places )

I check once in the morning, whilst I'm drinking up cuppa tea. Then I'll check throughout the day if I'm waiting for something to go in or out. I might then check in the evening too, if I'm not too busy.0

Hi yes I too would check several times a week just for peace of mind and also if anything was wrong I would see it. It is great to be able to check up like this.Do a little kindness every day.;)0

Depends on the time of the month. If it's coming up to payday (I run my current account down to £0.00), then I'll check it daily just to make sure the budget is holding up and nothing unexpected has come out. The interest-free overdraft will handle it if it does, but I like to be right.
Come payday I'll be logging in to my various accounts throughout the day while I work out what cash is going where.
Then I'll check 2 or 3 times a week after that until coming close to payday again, just to make sure the balance on my budget is the same as my current account. If it isn't, some investigation is done to ensure there's no fraud.Starting Debt: ~£20,000 01/01/2009. DFD: 20/11/2009 :j

Every morning at breakfast, along with Equifax and Experian.Since when has the world of computer software design been about what people want? This is a simple question of evolution. The day is quickly coming when every knee will bow down to a silicon fist, and you will all beg your binary gods for mercy.0

generally every day, even though I only have a handful of bills come out monthly, and my wages go in monthly, and wages from pub in cash weekly,
so very few transactions. But when I had my head in the ground and never checked I ended £6k in debt!!£5000 debt cleared thanks to MSE advice :money:0 -
