Who do you bank with? Popup blocker? I have run into that though I think that it is somewhat hypocritical of banks to demand all kinds of security and then demand that you disable your popup blocker so you can use their web pages.
Usually when I get that error with Chrome/Chromium, I go down to the advanced button and hit that, then you should get a button that tells it to accept the cert and do it anyhow, it will howl and tell you that the site may take your first born or hold you ransom for the rest of your life, but if you insist it should take you to the page in question. Just be sure that you are going to the real thing, I had some bad guys try to hijack a machine at a customer site, they got as far as getting it to show a bank login screen, but the part that would capture the login and password did not work (the security in the file system kept the page from writing the info to a text file which the bad program was supposed to call home and send to the bad guys), anyhow the bank screen looked like the real thing, the only reason it got caught early on was the URL directed to a Barkleys Bank screen and the local ISP caught it and called me, they had turned the link off I went to the site, they turned it back on, found the source of the problem (some code that was supposed to have been purged from that machine but somehow did not get totally removed, it was PHPADMIN, which I had removed but the part that stayed on allowed them to get into the machine and put that bad code. Once I found it and purged it and the remaining code for phpadmin, it was no longer an issue. Just make sure that you are not being sent to something that is not what it looks like, this LOOKED exactly like the same thing, the giveaway was the URL.
