Pioneer Services Offers Simple Online Banking Tips for Retirees

Consumer use of online banking and financial services has exploded in recent years. While technology has made life more convenient, some Americans are still low-tech when it comes to banking, despite the advantages online financial services can provide. The same is true in the military, where older service members who have likely relied on cutting edge technology to accomplish various missions may not apply this technology to their daily lives, especially after they retire.

As a result, Pioneer Services, a leader in financial services for the military, has created a new article highlighting the benefits of the online banking experience, along with some common sense tips for a safe and secure transaction. The article, Military retirees and online banking – securely saving time and money, is intended to educate both retired and active-duty military consumers.

“New technology and security advancements have torn down the walls between what used to be done kneecap-to-kneecap and what can now be done online”, said Doug Allen, chief information officer for Pioneer Services and author of the article. “Today, online financial services can save time, offer more options, afford privacy, and provide greater flexibility and control over your finances.

“There are millions of online financial transactions every day,” he added. “And just like when using an ATM or walking into a bank, a little common sense while online will ensure a quick and easy transaction while protecting your privacy and security.”

Cash advances or pay day loans have become increasingly popular in these times of financial turmoil

Payday Power launched recently out of a growing demand for a safe and easy instant cash advance service that is regulated by government bodies that people in the UK can trust.

There is no arguing with the facts, the credit crunch and rising levels of inflation are hitting the British public’s pockets hard with banks becoming stricter making the availability of loans for people with bad credit ratings lower.

Many things such as an unexpected outgoing from a school fee to a car repair bill to even replacing a broken down washing machine can throw a household’s finances off course leaving people seriously struggling financially to cover mortgage and bill payments until their next pay cheque arrives.

It doesn’t have to be this way though, with Payday Power’s pay day loans, people can receive an instant cash advance boost the very same day they apply for it. A pay day (or cash advance) loan is a short-term financial fix designed to tide over the borrower until their next pay packet, whereupon they can clear the debt.

Payday Power’s easy-to-use and hassle-free service is completely online so there is no need to worry about faxing documents over and a decision is made to your application instantly online.

In addition, Payday Power is a completely ‘transparent’ service so that unlike many of their competitors, their pay day loans come complete with advice on the risks involved in taking out a loan so that effectively these risks are minimised compared to their competitors.

Emily Davidson of credit.com observes, “Pay day loans can be a good tool for quickly and easily borrowing cash during an emergency if you don’t have other financial options.”
