What gets me is they must be getting takers or they would not keep  
sending them. However I have not been asked if I want bigger boobs  
for quite some time,they must be happy with the size!

Even if they think "MAC" is an acronym - well, it is - Media Access

My brother (a Windoze user) has to come to my place and use my Mac to 
get at his money with St George Bank. My iMac 350 with IE worked where 
his PC with XP didn't. My new eMac with Safari didn't work but when I 
used IE in Classic it worked fine. I keep telling him to either buy a 
Mac or change banks. If St George doesn't work on a fast PC running XP 
Professional it seems they are chopping out most of their customers.


Mind you, I DO enjoy rubbing it in that he has to use my Mac

Probably because they would like their customers data to be secure,

I was recently asked to sign a form certifying that I had virus protection
and a Wirewall installed before I could increase my transfer limit by United
Credit Union.
But both IE and Safari still  work with them.

Hi All have been using safari to access commbank since
it was released and never had a problem so i'd say its
not something the bank has done but simply something
that they have benefited from for  free that they can
chirp about

For the amount of money that they have noted for reconstructing their  
Internet communications, I would hope so and if I was a stock holder,  
questioning how come so much?


Also from a story I read a while back, lost URL unfortunately, but  
corporate chiefs and executives love the look of the PB so it has  
become very chic to have this tool of industry by your side on those  
long flights. Besides try playing a DvD in a windows laptop wish you  
luck.


But, I would suspect bean counters have calculated security is a  
costly issue in the courts. Monies  we make minus minor litigation =  
bank profits still in front. So, deny, deny if they sue its cool, we  
win still. Not so anymore, their are precedents and courts have  
increased the payoffs, time to move the goal posts.


It is amazing how Customer Service, Satisfaction and honesty about  
security issues have become buzz words of marketing, someone must  
have swallowed a humanity pill.

Gotta give them credit for making an effort with this one to make sure it's
at least reasonably compatible with other browsers and OSes. Most major
corporate sites just tell you "Use IE on Windows" and if you're using
something else, tough.
