While this statement might be true ( ;-) ), I am surprised you reached this conclusion based on their Internet site. I've been using their site for many years, and it seems to be working will with Firefox on Linux. I heard reports that some business-related features don't work without Microsoft Window's silverlight (namely, electronic signing), but every personal-banking feature I tried, including buying stocks, etc., seems to be working fine in Firefox. -- Nadav Har'El|Thursday, Jun 27 2013, 19 Tammuz 5773 n...@math.technion.ac.il |- Phone +972-523-790466, ICQ 13349191 |Disclaimer: The opinions expressed above http://nadav.harel.org.il |are not my own. ___ Linux-il mailing list Linux-il@cs.huji.ac.il http://mailman.cs.huji.ac.il/mailman/listinfo/linux-il

Hi Dov, Poalim is ok if you are a private user, a disaster if you are a corporate user. For corporate users, Poalim works only with MS Windows, *nothing* else.

Re: Choosing a new bank
As a private user I am fairly satisfied with Mizrahi, their website doesn't really give me problems except for one minor annoyance that they haven't fixed yet: - export of transaction history to excel (used to be csv, but now MS xlsx) is encoded in a way that I used to be able to fix using iconv but these days even iconv doesn't help me, I have to use MS Office and copy paste it to my libreoffice file. 2013/6/9 Jonathan Ben Avraham y...@tkos.co.il: Hi Dov, Poalim is ok if you are a private user, a disaster if you are a corporate user.
