Better Interest Rates and Special Offers Traditional banking transactions cost banks, on average, two dollars to process while Internet transactions can cost as little as a few cents. This savings allows online banks to offer higher interest rates on checking accounts, savings accounts, certificates of deposit, and money market accounts. Some banks also offer to refund ATM costs and offer cash bonuses when you sign up for a new account. With a traditional bank people often feel that they don't control there own accounts. They have to ask the bank, and then the bank will act on behalf of the customer.
