After launching its mobile banking facility recently, Sterling Bank of Asia has added another electronic banking service by introducing its proprietary retail internet banking facility named Sterling Bank Online.

The new Sterling Bank Online facility is available to all individual depositors who have a Peso Savings, Peso Checking and Dollar Savings account with the bank. “This online facility provides more control to our depositors over their accounts in a very convenient way. Our depositors will no longer be bound by the bank’s operating hours and they don’t have to physically go to the bank to do usual banking transactions. No matter where they are or what time it is, they can easily access and manage their accounts”, said Sterling Bank First Vice President and Marketing Head Ferdinand G. La Chica.

Online banking is not as complicated as one may think. It is more secure than ever. The best part is that this can be done anywhere as long as there is an internet access.

Banking on convenience

Sterling Bank Online offers a great deal of convenience. Depositors need not wait anymore for the bank statement to arrive in the mail to check account balances. It gives them real time access to their enrolled accounts’ balances and transactions. Ordering a new checkbook can also be done online.

In addition to checking balances, depositors can also transfer funds between their own accounts or to other Sterling Bank accounts, in just one click. They can also pay for credit card, insurance and utility bills with companies and institutions that have collection agreements with Sterling Bank and Bancnet.

Customer-centric platform

“We have built the Sterling Bank Online platform using a customer-centric approach that also provides higher level of security and confidentiality. We instill high priority on security and privacy. We also focused on functionality and simplicity when we designed the Sterling Bank Online platform since studies had shown that a large percentage of potential customers avoid online banking based on preconceived notions that is difficult and confusing” expounds Mr. La Chica.
