Once you choose an account, collect whatever personal documents and identifying information the institution requires. Decide what’s important to you: free online banking? Access to in-person locations? 24/7 customer support? These answers can help you decide where to open a bank account online and what type of account you would like to open. The steps to open an online bank account vary depending on where you choose to open an account.
Many financial institutions now allow new members to apply for checking, savings, and other types of accounts online.
