Stuck at Home Guide: Online Banking Made Easy
We are excited to remind you about a tool we built a while back that’s become even more important right now as older adults are being urged to stay at home.
Our virtual course Ready, Set, Bank is a completely free and easy-to-use tool that teaches you how to bank online with any banking institution. With online banking, you can avoid having to visit your local bank branch— you have 24/7 account access to make payments, view transactions, check your balance, and more, all from home.
Tom Kamber, Executive Director of OATS & Senior Planet, welcomes you to the world of online banking.
Ready, Set, Bank
The Ready, Set, Bank portal features a series of short videos that will show you how to enroll in online banking, check your balance, transfer funds, pay bills, download your bank’s app, and more. Tutorials include:
You can watch— and rewatch— all the videos at www.readysetbank.org. They’re also available in Spanish on the same site.

Please Note:
This demo experience is built with static screens to simulate a real website. Because it is not a fully functioning website, some buttons, icons and text fields seen on screen are visual elements only and are not functional. The demo elements that are functional will have a blue box flash when you click in any empty space on the screen. Text fields do not allow typing and will automatically pre-fill with example data when clicked.

I need 30000 credits and I did 300 gtas
This series should include depositing checks electronically. It’s a fantastic feature in these times of not being able to go to the bank. And super easy
I agree. That would be most helpful.
Is it possible to send checks virtually to another person, and then can that person send the same check to his/her/their account?
You can send money to another person’s account with a service called Zelle, which is available on several major banking websites! Senior Planet will be offering a virtual class on this soon, or you can look for it on the demo site!
