What's the worst online bank name?

[ken1706]

Seems like new online banks are opening up every day. But I don't know who's picking the names.

There's a few that have been around a while like VirtualBank and NetBank. Even though VirtualBank has had some good deals, the name "VirtualBank" doesn't give me a feeling of comfort....

Now a pretty new online bank MyBankingDirect is offering some competitive deals like 3.75% on a money market account. But again, the name is lame.

If there are any bankers out there thinking about starting an online bank, here are a few names to avoid:

bank-4-u.com
YourInternetBank.com
MySpecialBank.com

[Bruce Wayne]

For those familiar with rhyming slang City Bankers would also be one to avoid

[jmjj215]

OnlineBank.com would be rather dull.

Emigrant Direct... need I say more?

I with Sharon . . .Emmigrant's initials especially . . .

MySpecialBank.com has as much sparkle as a twig. Perhaps it's the mood of the marketing departments at the time of incorporation but they really should look into more appealing names.

Thanks for giving me such a good hearty laugh... I hadn't even thought of that until you said so. I'm over here, laughing my head off...

It looks like I should have included EmigrantDirect as one of the choices...

I also hadn't thought about EmigrantDirect's initials. Probably best to avoid them so people don't get confused. I can see how a thread title like "Have you had any problems with ED?" could cause confusion...
