Alert - browser does not meet requirements


Your browser does not meet minimum security requirements for Online Banking. If your browser does not support 128-bit encryption, you will not be able to enroll in Online Banking. In addition, your browser version must be Microsoft® Internet Explorer 5.0 or higher, or Netscape Navigator® 7.0 or higher

Quit Safari.

Turn on Debug mode.

Then restart it. You'll see a "Debug" menu. Once at the banking site's main page, select Debug->User Agent->Windows MSIE 6.0. Edit: you might need to select this before going to the main page; some trial and error should work it out. Your encryption is fine; the bank just doesn't recognize our browser.

Odds are the site will work fine. Note that you need to do this every time you visit - the User Agent only is valid for that session/window.

No problems whatsoever - mine's been up with various Safari versions for well over a year. if you don't touch it, it's as though it isn't there.
