Fortis PC Banking Online

of all the banks in the world, still only a third of them offer banking services over the internet.

Also at BNP Paribas Fortis, you can do your banking online in all ease and safety, with increasingly more products offered over time.

Fortis Bank is now owned by BNP Paribas, which has the largest deposits of any bank in Europe. After being purchased by BNP Paribas, the Belgian portion of Fortis Bank became known as BNP Paribas Fortis. The Dutch and Luxembourg branches of Fortis Bank were sold to the Dutch and Luxembourg governments prior to the acquisition of Fortis by BNP Paribas.

With the backing of BNP Paribas, Fortis has become a much more solid bank, offering retail, corporate, public, and private banking services as well as asset management in 84 countries around the world, including Luxembourg, Poland, Turkey, Germany, France, and the USA. Not all services are provided in all countries. For example, Fortis Bank US offers only merchant banking and asset management, with merchant services provided only to medium and large-sized corporations and financial institutions.

Like most banks, Fortis offers online banking services.  Fortis PC banking allows you to access your account information anytime, day or night, through a secure Internet connection.  Through Fortis PC banking, you can make payments, check on your savings, and buy or sell stock in your investment accounts.  PC banking offers discounts on your stock exchange orders and you can use online banking without a service charge if you have an Easy Pack, Mine Pack, or Service Pack account.

Fortis online banking allows you to do all of your banking from your computer.  You can initiate European and international money transfers, keep tabs on your credit card spending, view your account history, and print out your statements.  Of course, you can also pay your bills with the ZOOMIT online bill payment service.  With Fortis PC banking, you can even open a new account online without needing to make a trip to a branch office to set it up.

If you need to borrow money, you can apply for a loan through Fortis PC banking too, whether you are looking for a car loan, energy loan, or even a home loan.  In addition, you can view your Fortis insurance policies and pay your premiums online using Fortis online banking services.

Unlike the online banking services of other banks, you need more than a user name and password to access your PC banking account through Fortis.  To keep your information secure, Fortis uses a secure Internet connection and requires the use of a card reader on your PC to access your account data through Dexia Direct Net using your bank card and PIN number.  This way, no one can access your PC banking account unless they have physical possession of your bank card.  

Of course, you need to take some responsibility for keeping your account information safe as well.  If you write your PIN number down and keep it in your wallet, someone could rob you and they would have all of the information they need to empty out all of your accounts, even your investment and retirement accounts.  You should also be sure to use a computer with a firewall and good anti-virus software to access your online banking accounts.

Fortis PC banking makes it easy to manage your accounts and take control of your finances.  If you don't have an account with BNP Fortis, consider opening one today so you can take advantage of the many services offered through Fortis online banking.
