I have no trouble at all with Internet Banking using Westpac.
25 words (?)...
On the website, stick to traditional HTML/3.2 and HTTPS, with very simple
Javascript, no Java, and cookies for session management. This
combination works quite well on a wide range of platforms, incl.
Mac, Linux, Unix and Windows.
Do not use any proprietary browser plug-ins or stand-alone programmes
to facilitate the banking transactions ... do it all on the server
after interacting with a 'standard' web browser.
[Does NAB require you to (a) upload a Windows-only plug-in; or (b) require
nasty Java applets; or (c) require a stand-alone programme that runs
only on Windows ???]
