Well my bloody stupid bank does. Presumably, 'for reasons of
security', they only support windows and explorer or netscape. So,
instead of being able to log in using the most secure system, I
have to use the most insecure system, and as well I have to use a
public computer to do that. They advise you not to use public
computers! I ain' gunna buy one of them machines just because the
bank would like me to. I wonder if the bank got a cut on a windows
installation if they kept their website 'pure'?
My bank, Regions (formerly Union Planters here in Florida) TOTALLY
supports Safari, Firefox and OmniWeb as well as Internet Explorer.
Personally, I'd find a new bank. My wife works for them too. She
says the IT department, with which she works closely and is able give
input (she's a Branch Manager), strives to be compatible with ALL
browsers and platforms. They want everybody's business! Banking via
website lowers operating costs and also saves the customer money. Of
course Regions is one of the most advanced Banks in the SouthEast as
far as software and hardware. Though their systems run on Windows
Servers. I'd certainly seek out another bank.
I look at it this way, if they don't want to accommodate you, I
certainly wouldn't give them my business...remember, they're making
money off of you.
