Wells Fargo & Company's My Savings Plan, an online tool that assists users in regularly saving part of their income to meet a long-term goal, now also has other features. Commerce Bancorp also began allowing wealthy clients to see and manage all their accounts online, even if some accounts may be with other financial institutions. Some institutions are providing management of airline frequent-flier programs for customers, and others are accelerating bill-paying. The personal finance services being added to web-based banking often imitate features in personal finance software, such as Microsoft Money and Intuit Quicken, are expected to be made available by other organizations as well. For instance, CheckFree, Online Resources, and Corillian, which are companies that manage online services for financial institutions, are deploying personal finance management tools that work over multiple accounts. Yodlee also provides a similar tool known as Yodlee MoneyCenter and expects a few large banks to start using it soon. In the face of worry over identity theft, banks are strengthening security. For instance, KeyBank now requires online customers to register all their personal computers with the bank. Citigroup, Wells Fargo, and others might offer banking services via mobile phones as well. Among topics covered are features being offered by banks to get consumers to pay more bills online and implementation of two-factor authentication.
