Abstract

If you’re the kind of check-writer who worries about overdrafts in a joint account because it’s hard to keep up with checks written by your spouse or because you don’t trouble to balance your own checkbook, I’m sympathetic because I’ve been there. Reston’s newest bank, Millennium, headquartered at Lake Anne Village Center, wants to take the worry out of check writing by providing instant information on your account balance, verified by check imaging. Five of eight other banks with Reston branches provide online bill paying and account information current to the previous day, but Millennium supplies, in addition, return-check imaging. From Millennium’s web site for registered depositors (bankatmillennium.com), just a click brings up the computer-current statement; another click on the unfamiliar or forgotten check entry brings up an image of the check itself; and another click shows the back of the check for endorsements and tracking information.
