Another suggestion:
Given that the bank charges are lower for transactions made via their Web
site than when they involve a warm and breathing teller, it may be a good
idea to petition the banks and the regulator of the banks for lower
charges for people who cannot access the bank's Web site and go instead to
speak with a living teller (to make them equal to the charges to people
who use the Web site).
For me, inability to access the bank's Web site is due to my lack of time
to follow all security patches and practices needed to continue to safely
use IE.
