The Internet can be reached by virtually any computer with a modem. First National Bank of Central Texas recommends that you use at least a 28.8 kbps modem to speed up access and download times. First, you need an Internet service provider. There are many local and national providers of Internet access. National service providers include America Online, Compuserve, MindSpring, and Internet America.
Some areas have access from the cable television provider.
The Internet service provider will supply the software needed to connect to the Internet. You may also purchase personal financial management software, such as Quicken or Microsoft Money to help you organize any account information that is downloaded from the Online Banking System. But you may decide that the bank's Internet system provides everything you need.
