The terms are used interchangeably but if you want to be picky, e-commerce implies an on-line transaction of some sort.  e-business is the broader term used as a catch all for all business over the net.

The financial system runs entirely on abstract, "virtual" basis. From credit cards, to checks, to stocks.... most advanced economies already have a large degree of virtual money going around.\n\nAs for the internet, most websites already accept your money, with some online roleplyaing games, such as second life, fueling entire virtual economies where you can buy and sell items for your characters, you can buy them a home, trade your game points for cash, etc.\nPretty stupid if you ask me, but there's a lot of people whose lives revolve around those games and the virtual economies they fuel. As amazing as it sounds, there are even sweatshops in China that make profits entirely out of playing computer games 24 hours a day!\n\n"Internet Money" already exists, albeit not with such an obvious name.

Disadvantages of e-banking:\n\nStart-up time:  Sometimes in order to register to the service, you may not get your password or security waiver right away for security reason.\n\nLearning:  It may take you a while to navigate through the ouser namestem.\n\nSite changes:  To top it, banks change their sites frequently, which may cause confusion and delays.\n\nSECURITY:  The #1 issue customers worry.  There is always questions and doubts whether or not something took place.  The best protection is check you address bar for suspicious addresses, don't write any personal information besides your username and password, and make a copy of every receipt or transaction

Evolution of Business\nEvolution of Businesses\nThere are four important areas in the process of evolving from a business into an e-business. These four stages are collectively known as the e-business cycle. There isn't a pre-defined order to the cycle. A successful e-business can start at any point. However, the first step is identifying which of the core business processes are most suitable for, or most in need of, conversion to e-business. \n\n\n \n\nCustomers are the key ingredients of success and the best place to start conversion to e-business is with customer relationship management. \n\nCustomers are the basis of any business and by developing a loyal customer base and by improving customer interactions and internal business processes then a loyal customer base will be developed. \n\nTo improve customer interactions and internal business processes you need to look at individual processes that contribute to the overall customer experience. These include Customer Relationship Management (CRM), Supply Chain Management (SCM) and E-commerce \n\nE-business leverages the Internet to integrate and transform these processes into a single efficient system. \n\nCRM \n\nThis keeps all of you business processes focussed on the customer. It is "building customer loyalty through better customer service" and it involves supporting, developing and retaining profitable customers. \n\nThe idea of customer self-service is pivotal to e-business. By analyzing past customer behaviour, an e-business is able to customize its offerings and anticipate the customer's wants and needs. By giving customers controlled access to data they need you can provide quality self-service for customers and not only manage your relationship with customer but give them ability to manage their relationship with you. \n\nSCM \n\nUsing the Web to integrate the complex system of suppliers, partners, employees and customers will transform the way you manage your supply chain. \n\nE-Commerce \n\nThe way cash flows through your company will also change. Each aspect of revenue and cost will be transformed. These will include online transactions to electronic billing and payment systems. E-commerce is not the same as e-business but is a subset of e-business. E-commerce can be used for E-Tailing and Marketing. \n\nE-Tailing As a place for direct retail shopping, with its 24-hour availability, a global reach, the ability to interact and provide custom information and ordering, and multimedia prospects, the Web is rapidly becoming a multibillion dollar source of revenue for the world's businesses. Some of the better known and profitable e-commerce sites include : Amazon.com, cdNow.com, Garden.com.\n\nMarketing The wide spread use and interactive nature of the Internet, allow companies to gather data about prospects and customers through a series of easy to use methods. \n\nsite registration \nquestionnaires \ntaking orders \nThe issue of whether data was being collected with the knowledge and permission of market subjects had been raised. (Microsoft referred to its policy of data collection as "profiling" and a proposed standard has been developed that allows Internet users to decide who can have what personal information.) \nGrowth of e-commerce\nThe business -to -consumer (B2C) market was estimated by International Data Corporation ("IDC") to have been $15 billion in goods and services in 1998, IDC projects that the B2B e-commerce market will grow from $35 billion in goods and services in 1998 to over $1.1 trillion by 2003.The benefits povided by e-commerce has contributed significantly to its growth. Improving both the customer and supplier realtionships as well as increasing efficiency and reducing cost. Improving Customer and Supplier Relationships\nCustomer and supplier relationships in a traditional business would be hindered by the time and cost required to communicate current information, locating new customers and supplier

You have to remember. All info on any computer is at some risk, but banks go to great lengths to protect their/your data. I've been paying bills online since '99. No fraud yet. Just keep an eye on your accounts daily. If anything seems weird, call your bank-they will handle it.

Never heard of them. If they are saying anythign along the lines of "send us an admin fee" or "send us your account details so we can process it" then it is most likely a scam!\nThey are very common where you get emails or notifications saying that you have some money owed.\n\nIf on the other hand you have a physical paper cheque in your hands then go ahead and pay it in!\n\nAll banks are regulated by the Financial Services Authority so they will be able to tell you if it is a legal UK registered bank
