They first rolled out their online banking site in about 1998 and updated it around 2003. Anyone who has used an online bank or brokerage site (e.g. ING Direct, EverBank, TD Ameritrade, E-Trade, etc.) will probably find BAF's site to be clunky, slow and error-prone. I called them half-a-dozen times about problems I was having viewing check images in 2006 and 2007 with no resolution. That said, it's a friendly and stable bank. If you have "hot money", are chasing yield and won't be interacting a lot online, BAF might be a good place to stash your cash. Otherwise, it might make sense to sacrifice some basis points for a decent functioning site. I was a Bank of American Fork (BAF) customer from 1993 to 2007.
