If you don't like using Terminal to muck around with the setting, then 
pop over to version tracker and get Safari Enhancer:

http://www.versiontracker.com/dyn/moreinfo/macosx/17776

This allows you to turn on the Debug menu in Safari. Once it is turned 
on, use it to change the User Agent to one that this bank will support.

Personally though, I would send them an extremely strongly worded 
letter pointing out that their reaction to your request has the marks 
of some very poor customer relations. Not to mention requiring IE puts 
your money in the account in serious jeopardy since IE is so bad at 
security that the Department of Homeland Security tells computer users 
to use a different browser (uh, you do not need to mention that your 
are running a Mac OS). Also point out that many other banks doing 
business in this local area have absolutely no problems allowing 
customers to use Safari. Perhaps your money would be safer with them.

Someday, I will come up with a clever signature line. I am not sure if 
I will use it or not, but I will come up with one.
