I use Nationwide. Their online banking works with Linux/Firefox and OSX/Safari, and they are slightly less evil than a bank (they're still a building society). On the other hand, they don't seem to use the fast payments system, which means that my salary/transfers would often arrive 2-3 days later than other people's. Oh, and I use HSBC for business banking, the online thingy seems to work fine on Linux. Can't vouch for their personal online banking though. (They do use fast payments though, I believe). osf'
