Did you try with some other Linux computer, perhaps with different
distribution?
I know that this is hard to hear and do - If this truly is your Bank's
problem - maybe the time has come to move the accounts to somewhere
where they can serve your needs.
I had to do this couple of times in my life, and it is not pretty nor
easy (that's what banks are banking on), but changing bank is very
effective in resolving all sorts of bureaucratic issues. It is getting
easier as I they remind me the level of commitment towards me. It works
like this:
1. pick a new bank
2. open an account with minimal funds
3. verify that all works as you need, including electronic transfers,
bill pay, bank cards, etc. This might take month or two.
4. transfer some funds over from the old bank and transfer
payments/customers
5. Wait at least another month or two to see if you feel good about the
new bank
6. De-fund the old bank account and close it or leave it be --> no
transactions should mean no cost, right?
I know what many people would say, this is difficult, hassle, I am
busy, what about the children/customers, and I like the bank, if only
they would fix X and maybe Y ....
This is how economy is supposed to work, vote with your feet after you
tried to fix it. Bank will not change for one customer, but might
change for 100+ or chose to go out of business.
If people/customers/voters would be willing to behave at least as
aggressively as the banks/gov./businesses/politicians/ISPs behave
towards them - the world would likely be different place.
Just imagine, how well would you feel .... car dealer .... this is not
meant to be political.
I do not have issues with on-line banking with BoA, Fidelity, UBS, ....
hell ... airlines even give me discount for shopping from Linux PC
versus wife's Mac or Windows PC!
