    once a month
    I check mine once a month and that's only when I transfer money to my hubbys account for my share of the CC bill, otherwise I wouldn't bother at all.

    And do they ever not go out?

    My life insurance dd failed to go out on the expected date, I called them and they said it'd be cancelled (I loled) so did have to set it up again. But if I'd not done that, I wouldn't have been covered!

    If I am in the office on a weekday I log in first thing to see what's happened over night (this is my own routine from when my debit card transactions would only be applied overnight - now they appear at any time during the day) and I check it again either in the afternoon or in the evening.

    I bank with HSBC and highly rate their internet banking to anyone...

    Check once a day because 4 years ago there were fraudulent transactions on my credit card. Found out about it the text message my bank sends me.

    So check Monday to Friday on my current account and Tuesday to Saturday on my credit card accounts (on account of them not being updated till midnight).

    I check my internet banking around 1 to 2 times a day ... On occasions it's been more frequent if I want to check something in particular ..

    Once/day. The system is updated overnight so there's not much point of accessing more than once per day to check. However, if I have to make a transaction during the day then it's more than once for that or those transaction(s).
    Cahoot's e-mail alert is a good idea but only if it works. During the short time I had an account with them the e-mail would be sent about two days late!

    Alliance and Leicester update their system in real time, although the transaction does not appear in the list the actual and available balance is changed with a Visa or ATM transaction or DD etc.
    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.

    Every day. Specially since HSBC now have a prize draw which you get entered into if you log in each day this month... ;)
