“I spent an hour in the bank with my dad, as he had to transfer some money. I couldn’t resist myself and asked… “Dad, why don’t we activate your internet banking?” “Why would I do

that?” he asked, seemingly puzzled by the suggestion.

“Well, it’s much more convenient. You can check your balance, transfer money, and even pay bills online, without having to go to the bank every time,” I explained, trying to persuade him.

My dad chuckled softly and shook his head. “I’ve been banking the traditional way for decades, son. I’m not sure I’m ready to embrace all this new technology.”

I couldn’t help but smile at his old-fashioned ways. My dad was a man of routine, comfortable with the familiar and wary of change. But as much as I respected his preferences, I also wanted to help him see the benefits of modern banking.

“Dad, I promise it’s not as complicated as it seems. Plus, I’ll walk you through the process step by step. And if you ever need help, I’m just a phone call away,” I reassured him.

After some gentle persuasion, my dad finally agreed to give internet banking a try. We headed home, and I set up his online account on his computer, guiding him through each step with patience and encouragement.

As we navigated through the website together, I could see the skepticism on my dad’s face slowly melting away, replaced by a sense of curiosity and intrigue. By the time we were finished, he was eager to explore all the features and capabilities of his new online banking account.

Over the next few weeks, my dad became more and more comfortable with internet banking. He marveled at the convenience of being able to manage his finances from the comfort of his own home, without having to brave the long lines and crowded waiting rooms at the bank.

But the real turning point came when my dad encountered a problem with his account late one evening. In the past, he would have had to wait until the next business day to resolve the issue. But with internet banking, he was able to log in and chat with a customer service representative right away, who helped him resolve the issue in a matter of minutes.

From that moment on, my dad was a true believer in internet banking. He sang its praises to anyone who would listen, extolling its virtues and encouraging his friends and family to give it a try. And as for me, I was proud to have helped my dad embrace the benefits of modern technology, knowing that it had made his life just a little bit easier.
