Hi all, I just got message from my bank (KBC) that I need to upgrade my KBC-business-account. Now, instead of using a separate card-reader like the private accounts, they are forcing me to use an USB smartcard-reader, which, you guessed it, doesn't work on Linux. A mail to their technical staff doesn't show much respect for other OS's:
Beste cliënt, KBC-Online for Business met beveiliging eBusiness Card is compatibel met PC (Windows) en in combinatie met Internet Explorer. Op de website www.kbc.be/welkom worden alle vereiste stappen die moeten uitgevoerd worden voor de installatie weergegeven. Apple wordt niet ondersteund en Linux wordt helaas ook niet ondersteund door KBC net zoals zijn tientallen UNIX-varianten. In short: "we chose to support Windows-only, cause none of our clients use Mac, Linux or Unix-computers to access their bank accounts." I'm asking myself what kind of R&D-managers are working at KBC. I figure that, instead of hiring a tech-staff that knows how to do M$-programming, it really can't be that hard to use some imagination, and hire one that knows how to program for a UNIX environment too. Funds aren't the issue here too, I presume... Any of you got experience in handling these kind of issues? I suppose an angry mail to some support-guy won't do much in this case. cheers, b. -- ubuntu-be mailing list / mailto:[email protected] Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-be
