The Windward Islands Bank Ltd (WIB) last week launched its latest service, WIB@Home, the first Internet banking service to be offered by a local bank in St Maarten.

The new service enables users to have almost total control over the use of their accounts. Using this service and an accompanying Bankomatico card, customers may check their account balances, check their account history, make transfers between accounts on the card, verify if a cheque has been paid, order cheques and place stop payments on cheques.

At a press conference to market its Internet banking activities, WIB Marketing and Public Relations Officer, Rolando Tobias, commented: 'As times change, the bank continues to accommodate these changes by offering innovative services.' He added that with the role the Internet plays in today's society and in keeping with the bank's motto of "Your Partner in Progress," it had been expected that WIB would offer Internet banking.

The first live Internet banking transaction was made by Commissioner of Telecommunications Franklin Meyers.
