How do I know my money is safe in an internet account?
I have $50,000 in Bank of America. They make me mad because they still charge a $6.95 monthly fee for checking. I see that on zecco.com, the trading site, they offer 5% interest on your account. That's better than my CD. If I move all of my money there, how do I know it's safe? I always wonder about that, with insurance companies, or any company offering good returns. How do you really know they won't take your money and run?

You should be good--see FINRA and SIPC affiliations and brokerages are among the most highly regulated of all businesses.

How you know that a place won't run off with your funds is basically if they're insured or regulated.

"SIPC coverage is also limited to $500,000 per customer, including up to $100,000 for cash. For purposes of SIPC coverage, customers are persons who have securities or cash on deposit with a SIPC member for the purpose of, or as a result of, securities transactions."
http://www.finra.org/InvestorInformation/InvestorProtection/SIPCProtection/index.htm

So it seems if you've got an account, especially if you buy a few shares of something (why not?) that you'll be good to go.

Bank would more likely be responsible for the charges.

Keep an eye on it, Bank of America is bad news.

Higher return is usually associated with higher risk.

I've tried to find some information about Zecco. And it looks like Zecco is not a publicly traded company, the way Bank of America is. Which means that they don't have to disclose their financial situation to the public.

They could be invested up to their ears in Sub-Prime Mortgage-Backed Securities. And you wouldn't know about it until they declare huge losses and go into bankruptcy.

Any bank or broker offering 500bp on $50k is probably in financial trouble. Otherwise why would they need cash badly enough to offer such a high rate?

Make sure they're SIPC insured. But even then, do you really want that hassle?


Formerly known as Frank Castle
Zecco is insured by Lloyd's of London.

I heard about bank of America. I would not recommend staying with them, try citibank or chase instead. they have 'free' checking.
