Some people could not be happier with internet banking. Others fear it and want no part of it. Sometimes these people will give you reasons for their fears. Other times, they will just say they do not like it and leave it at that.
Some people are simply shy. They do not want to even get on the internet, much less do internet banking. These people often see the internet as a vast community of people that do not know them. Perhaps this is more alarming to those who have grown up in tight-knit communities.
At any rate, shy people will avoid internet banking because they feel embarrassed about what they are doing. It is not that they are doing anything wrong. It is just that they feel scrutinized by a larger group of people than they would at their local bank.
If these people can understand that their internet banking transactions are their own private business, they will be less alarmed. If they can see that the internet is not a tool to make them feel embarrassed, they can begin to get comfortable with it. Some of these people eventually overcome their fears and become the most avid internet banking customers.
Other people are afraid that using their computer for internet banking will lead them to obsess over money. They feel that if the information is available to them at all times, they will have a hard time ignoring it. They think they will be consumed about every little thing that is happening with their account.
