How To Check Your Balance Account?

My mom set up a savings account for me and now i want to check the balance online. how?

• My mom created a savings account for me (Bank of America i believe). Now I'm looking to buy a netbook (http://www.walmart.com/catalog/product.do?product_id=10859138&findingMethod=rr if you wanna see) I wanted to check my balance for my account online so i would know if i had enough for it. is there anyway i can do that?

• Answer:

  Banks have created specific criteria to make sure you are the person who's authorized to log online to check an account balance. You'll need: 1. The bank's Web site URL (domain name). 2. Your bank account number. 3. A user name and password that you create to access the account. Your bank may request other information, but what I've mentioned is basic. With the three steps above, and probably another series of checks and balances (three questions they ask and you answer for security), you'll be able to check your balance online, anytime. Good luck saving and getting that netbook. Shirley George Frazier Author and Small Business Expert
