checking online account every day?

Options
Since I retired I check my online bank accounts every day.

Is this excessive and will the bank flag this up in any way?

Or do they not bother or even know?

    No thats what its provided for.
    Can I find out my credit score?
    You do not have a single credit score or rating. Different organisations take different information into account when working out your credit score and may have different scores for different products. (Kindly from Experian)

    Depends on bank,

    but if you enter the right details every time and you are the account holder, it should be fine.

    i checked my TSB online for 6 days straight one time... and so far not a peep from them, and when you say 'check it everyday' do you really 'MEAN' that?

    I'm ossesive about checking my accounts.

    It's the first thing I do every day before even making a brew. Out of bed onto the compter and check how far away I am from beeing debt free.

    I sometimes check them 2 or 3 times a day.

    I would think they would prefer us to check every day? I check every day, I guess then if there is anything there that shouldn't be we can pick it up quicker?

    If there ever was a fraudulent transaction, the fact that you check so regularly can only be helpful.
