    Daily, sometimes multiple times daily if interest expected and If I make a FP from another external account then I'll always check that a few minutes later.

    Those who don't regularly check are those more liable to come on here bleating about going overdrawn, exceeding limits, fraudulent acts and getting charges when a couple/few minutes of daily money management could prevent all that.

    If only money management was taught in schools instead of logrythms (spelling?)

    Current account maybe twice a week. All other accounts probably once a month or less.

    I get a text message at around 7.30am if there has been any credit/debits from my account and therefore do not really need to logon to internet banking to check my balance. The only time I logon is when I need to transfer money/check direct debits etc.

    First direct is great for text banking!

    Every day for both my current account and also my credit card account just to ensure that no fraudulent activity has taken place.
