Similar thing for me: One of my accounts is with StellarOne bank.  Main 
site is not HTTPS nor redirects.  But when you put in your account ID you 
get sent to netteller.com with a certificate owned by Jack Henry and 
Associates, Inc.  I called the bank to ask about that and they said that 
that's OK -- "Jack Henry", whoever that is, handles their online banking 
machinery so it is a legit redirect.  But it sure was disconcerting...
