Do i need to go to the bank in order to start banking on the internet?
Not always. I have an online only bank account from a UK company (but I am a resident of the UK). They don't have any branches so everything is done on the net.
You can usually apply for online banking from most bank websites. They generally have a apply online" button on there homepage, so keep an eye out for one.
Most of the well known banks allow Online Banking and you contact them either in person or over the internet to get signed up.
However, there are a number of Online Banks that have no buildings. They are licensed and registered with the appropriate banking authoritieis, but all their business is done over the web.
Just research the bank as there can be many Scams out there.

Today at my bank job we all got a memo from our direct corporate overlord (but sub-lord to the CEO) that by the end of June all customer service employees will be required to use the bank's online banking and bill-paying service in their own private lives.
