Safari and Online Banking

When is Safari going to join the 21st century?
As IE has fallen off its perch - When will I be able to go on line to my Natwest bank account?
I've aired this subject before but Sofari not a peep out of Safari.
It is astounding that nothing has been done by Safari to rectify this problem which of their making.

When I contacted The Natwest Bank they told me that they had contacted Safari about the problem. It seems that Safari retains confidential information when the Natwest custumer logs out that IE and others do not retain, and until Safari changes that state then Natwest cannot/will not allow customers to be put at risk - and also themseleves no doubt.
I have been told before that Firefox seems to be fine as is Mozilla (spelling?) but why should I move from Safari - may be I should move - in fact at some point I shall move if Safari cannot/will not solve the problem.
I find it a bit much that IE works but not Safari. I bet if Jobs had his account at Natwest the problem would have been addressed - 26.

  • Safari and Key Bank Online banking

    In the past month I have noticed that Safari crashes whenever I am in online banking section of Key Bank trying to open a pdf file of my statement. I sent Key Bank a message and found out that Key Bank is NOT supporting Safari! Now why is this? It seems to me that this is a poor business decision especially because Safari is the browser of choice for all Macs and the NEW iPhone.
    This is the message they sent back to me:
    "There are several browsers that are not supported by our Online Banking
    service. As a result, anyone using an unsupported browser may
    experience difficulties using some or all of the Online Banking
    services. We have provided the list of unsupported browsers below:
    1. AOL lower then 7.0 All AOL versions lower than 7.0 are no longer
    supported
    2. Opera Browser - Not Supported
    3. Internet Explorer & Netscape versions earlier than 5.0 - These
    versions do not support 128-bit encryption
    4. Safari - Not Supported
    5. Avant - Not Supported for Windows
    6. Cello - Not Supported for Windows
    7. Camino - Not Supported for Mac
    A review of your message showed that you are using the Safari browser,
    which is not supported by our Online Banking service. As a result, you
    may no longer be able to use the on-line statement feature. So we may

    I will have to try another browser as I have no choice if I want to do online >>banking.
    Thats is a lot they aren't supporting, goodness Camino is a mozilla browser. One other choice perhaps, consider change banks?
    Good luck, I hope Firefox works for you.
    Happy 4th.

  • Safari and my bank website

    hello,
    I am currently using a OS X 10.4.2 (up to date as of saturday september 24) on my 1.8ghz imac. whenever i try to log into my bank website to check my balance, each time i do so, i am told "Your current session has expired. Press the 'Exit' button above to exit. NOTE: This may be caused by reloading or resizing your browser window.  Some browsers do not support window resizing in a secure session."
    this happens everytime i try to log into my online bank account. i used to be able to log in previous to using tiger (been using tiger a week after it came out) but since the upgrade, the above message is all i get. using camino, firefox, icab, shiira and omniweb log me in just fine. i have not messed with safari settings, nor have i resized my browser window at all (or at any time).
    anyone have an idea whats going on? i would love to get this problem corrected as i am military and in the field 4 days out of each week and need to have 24 hour access to my account for day to day business and for emergency situations. is anyone else experiencing this problem?

    Hi Ryan,
    is anyone else experiencing this problem?
    Who is the bank in question? Since I'm not based in the US it's unlikely I'll be able to help but at least other posters can confirm/deny they are having problems with your bank.

  • Safari and Internet Banking

    Hi there,
    Ever since 10.3.9 update, i realized that my safari has been having troubling with my internet banking. Logging in is just fine, everything pops up fine. But once i click on the navigation bar on the left, the screen jumps to the e.g bill payments WITHOUT the navigation bars. So I cant navigate anymore from this point onwards. Just the website security times-out. I never had this problem before 10.3.9
    Is it something to do with Java 1.4.2 ?
    I have delete the whole safari and also tried out the solution from Apple Knowledge Based, and then download the safari and then update the 10.3.9 again. Didnt work.
    I can't afford to upgrade to Tiger at the moment, if that solves the problem.
    Does Safari has problem wit Microsoft Exchange Servers ?
    Because i noticed recently, i have the similiar navigation problem when i log on to my university website , where the navigation bar dissapears when i move on to the next screen.
    Hope some one can help. Last few months being away from home, I had to resort to find a windows computer to do my banking and check on my lecturers via the web.
    Thanks.
    regards,
    Siva

    Hello Freelancer:
    Unfortunately some web developers do not write code to standards - worse yet, they occasionally use Microsoft (IE) specific extensions. I always inform the web sites in question that there are problems - some fix them, some do not.
    What bank do you use? There are many banks that have excellent web sites that work well with Safari. I personally use Bank of America, but I do not know where you are located so I cannot advise further.

  • OS X security and online banking

    Hello everyone.
    I've been using Macs for nearly a year and have never used anti-virus or spyware software. I currently feel secure in this.
    There was an article in The Sunday Times this morning about security of online banking.
    http://www.timesonline.co.uk/newspaper/0,,2770-2426237,00.html
    Some British banks have been found to less secure than others regarding phishing and fake websites. All my banking is done online and my bank was one of those listed as potentially being less secure. (The bank now says it's going to fix it.) The newspaper article goes on to say that banks will usually refund fraudulant transactions if you have up-to-date virus and spyware software and a firewall.
    I wonder where I would stand with my bank if something dodgy happened to my account and I'm not running anti-virus software. How much longer will I be able to sit back and smuggly say "I've got a Mac" (something I do quite a lot actually!) so I'm safe? Something to think about.
    Rachel

    Hi Rachel, I can't address the legal part of your question. Some British banks have been found to less secure than others regarding phishing and fake websites.Phishing and fake websites (mirrors) are more a function of user awareness. Never click on a link in an email if you suspect phishing, rather go to the banks website in your normal manner. You can also contact your bank to find out if they sent an email.
    I don't use any AV or Spyware software. That said, theorectically any Mac could be cracked/hacked. If you use common sense the odds against it happening are long.
    You can protect yourself by using your firewall and/or a hard wired router, downloading only from "trusted" sites, installing all security updates and being careful about what you give administrative power to.
    Don't use Limewire or any other P2P service to download your software, get it from reputable sources. In addition, always keep at least your users backed up, preferably a clone of your entire system on a separate disk. And put your sensitive passwords, bank accounts, credit card numbers in a "secure note" in a new keychain or in an encrypted folder.
    Enjoy your Mac

  • RV82 Dual WAN and online banking. Packets from two IP's

    Hi all
    I have a RV082 set up with two different ISP's (load balancing). A while ago the users started to get problems with online banking. It looks like the bank system set up more than one "channel" to/from the end user, and that the bank systems will not accept that packets are coming from 2 different public IP's. I have solved this by binding all HTTPS traffic to WAN1.
    Is this a good solution or is there a better way to deal with this? I'm afraid this will "unbalance" my network as many services like Netflix and Youtube is HTTPS.
    Are there any other online services that may have problems with a load balancing setup?
    If WAN1 goes down. Will WAN2 start to transport HTTPS even though HTTPS is bound to WAN1?
    I also have a similar issue with alert mail from the router (goes to wrong ISP every second time), but this seems to be fixed in the last firmware:
    "Email account authentication is configurable for email alert."
    Thanks in advance
    Jone

    Hello Jone,
    Your solution is correct.  Certain types of secure connection like HTTPS or SSH will not work if you keep switching the source IP, because it breaks the three-way handshake.  To prevent that you setup protocol binding as you have.  You can do the same thing for any other traffic that always needs to go out a certain WAN port.  
    If the WAN connection you have selected to protocol bind traffic to goes down, it will failover to the other WAN until the connection recovers.  
    I haven't seen too many online services that have issues with load balancing, it is mostly with secure connections, namely HTTPS.  I did try to get Netflix into HTTPS mode, but I could never get an encrypted connection, but your best bet is to monitor and observe the network to see how it affects you.
    I want to say the line you are quoting has to do with configuring authentication to an SMTP server to send e-mail alerts, rather then selecting a WAN port to use, however if you protocol bind SMTP to the WAN you would like it to use that should no longer be an issue.
    Hope that helps,

  • Kmymoney and online Banking (HBCI)

    Hi, I would need help to get kmymoney 0.8.8 working together with HBCI support. I got already aqbanking and its dependencies installed and there is an additional plugin needed by kmymoney called kmm_banking-0.9.3beta which I compiled directly into my system. So I am able to see the online banking entry in kmymoney but the plugin does not work properly, which means I can't connect to the bank.
    So if there is anyone who got it working or has an idea how to make hbci support properly available in the current kmymoney, that would be much appreciated. In case I omitted same necessary information you need to now in order to help solve the problem, let me now.

    http://kmymoney2.sourceforge.net/release-plan.html
    It's not implemented, yet. But it will be, that is just a matter of time..

  • Safari will no longer support my online banking, Bill Pay???Any solution?

    Anyone have problems with Safari and online banking , Bill Pay?

    jodee --
    Welcome to Apple Discussions.  We all volunteers here, other Mac users helping each other find solutions.
    So, yes, I had problems initially with my bank, and I found that if I refreshed the page (press the command/Apple key along with the letter " r " key), the bnk pages would kick in as usual.  I had to do that for a couple of weeks, but my bank finally caught up with the new Safari several weeks ago.
    Try the refresh page, and let us know how you're doing, OK?

  • I can no longer get my complete bank statements online, and my bank blames the Safari update and tells me to switch to Firefox.  Is there no other solution?

    I can no longer get my complete bank statements online, and my bank blames the latest Safari update and tells me to switch to Firefox.  Is there no other solution?

    I would feel dreadful If I thought had caused you a problem.   The warnings about Java are fully justified but providing you are communicating with a known source, and as I said, you disable it the moment you have finished, you should be safe.
    It might also be worth asking your bank what problem they have and would it be the same if you were using Firefox, for example.
    Like you, I am very security minded, in fact I won't even put my bank details on my Mac let alone run my account that way. 

  • Computer update affecting login to online banking in Firefox and Safari

    Updated Macbook Pro, now not able to login to Chase.com. Error="Page isn't redirecting properly. Server redirecting request in a way that will never complete." Cookies are enabled, as is Accept Third Party Cookies. Multiple restarts to computer/Firefox so far. Cleared cookies, history, cache. Thoughts? I also tried to get to my online banking through Safari and had the same problem -- too many redirects.

    Just a quirk as Chase updated its system. They gave me a bit of a scare as when I just logged in, I had to go through the process just like I was setting up my online banking again. Had to again choose preferences, paperless statements, etc. I then noticed there was a message in my online Chase secure customer message center that had notified us a month ago that they were updating online banking on August 5/6 and we'd have to login and confirm our preferences again at that point. It should work for everyone now --- just be prepared to "re-set up" your account.

  • Safari , Autofill and Wells Fargo Online Banking

    In earlier versions of Safari, I had to type my login/pass to login to Wells Fargo Online banking, autofill wouldn't put it in:
    https://online.wellsfargo.com/
    I figured there was some security issue and just dealt with it. Then in 2.x? it all of a sudden started to work! Now in 3.0.4 I have do it manually again. Can anyone else confirm and does anyone know the story behind this?

    Sorry, I just noticed another thread on the this subject. Couldn't find it before.

    After I installed OS X Mountain Lion system, I can't use my Safari to log into my online banking and some other websites which require passwords. Can some one please help?

    It could be browser incompatibility or something else. When you say you can't log in, what happens? Is the bank website generating an error saying you're not using a supported browser? Does the login form for your bank account display as usual, but once you submit the form to log in it doesn't work? Give me a specific step-by-step of what you're doing, such as...
    1. I load bankofamerica.com
    2. I type in my login
    3. When I submit, the page does nothing
    Obviously that may not be your issue, but giving us details like that will help us come to a quicker conclusion.

  • Safari and Cahoot online bank (UK)

    Safari has recently stopped working with an online bank in the UK. The bank is called Cahoot
    There is a forum thread on the UK MacUser site which includes responses from Cahoot. One of which reads as follows.
    Quote:
    The system which ensures that the characters you choose from the drop down box on the log in page are hidden is implemented using Javascript. This is a scripting system that is part of the web browser software.
    We know that these scripts work properly with the two browsers that we formally support i.e. Internet Explorer and Netscape. Although we don't formally support it, we understand that Firefox 1.0 works fine too.
    We do not currently support or test with the Safari browser but we understand that there may be some problems with its implementation of Javascript.
    We know that Safari is the standard browser on newer Macs and as its popularity increases we will review the situation to see whether we should add it to the list of browsers that we support.
    Does anyone here know if there's any truth in this? If not, I'd love some ammunition to throw back at Cahoot?

    As promised, here's the text of the response I eventually received from Cahoot.
    Dear Mr Choudhuri,
    Thank you for contacting cahoot.
    I can confirm that we have recently upgraded the log in page on our website so that the letters from your password are hidden with an asterix. This has resulted in problems with the Safari browser as the settings applied to it will not allow you past the password entry section. This is due to a scripting system that is part of the web browser software.

    We know that Safari is the standard browser on newer Macs and as its popularity increases we will review the situation to see whether we should add it to the list of browsers that we support.
    In the meantime our recommendation is that you use a different browser to access the cahoot site. Whilst we support it, we're reluctant to recommend that you use IE version 5.5 for the Mac. Instead we recommend that you consider Firefox Version 1.0 which we are likely to be adding to our list of supported browsers in the near future because of its popularity. This is a modern standards-compliant browser which is available free of charge in a version for the Mac. It is available for download here http://www.mozilla.org
    We're sorry that we've not been able to resolve the issue with your Safari browser.
    If you require any further assistance please do not hesitate to contact us again.
    Kind regards,
    Mike Greer,
    cahoot
    And here's what I sent back which, as yet, has gone unanswered:
    Dear cahoot
    Firstly, thank you for the more considered and informed response.
    I'm interested in your statement:
    I can confirm that we have recently upgraded the log in page on our website so that the letters from your password are hidden with an asterix. This has resulted in problems with the Safari browser as the settings applied to it will not allow you past the password entry section. This is due to a scripting system that is part of the web browser software.
    Did you do any user testing? As a web based company, you surely cannot be unaware of the resurgence Apple is enjoying in the market place. You acknowledge that in your comment >>We know that Safari is the standard browser on newer Macs and as its popularity increases...<<. Safari users will be a small percentage of your users, but I'm pretty certain that percentage is growing. Our own web stats show that, and the various broswers check sites and market research companies echo that finding. Does it make good business sense to alienate customers, when there are plenty of banking and finance sites that achieve safe, secure login without locking out any particular browser (lloydstsb, natwest, amex, IF, barclaycard, etc - and that's just in the UK).
    I'd urge you to reconsider your decision to effectively ignore a subset of your customers. Let's face it, I work in IT and I know full well that
    <div class="jive-quote">we will review the situation to see whether we should add it to the list of browsers that we support.<<</div>
    is a euphemism for "we're doing nothing about it until we're forced to"!
    I don't want to change banks; it's a hassle and I've been quite happy with the service I've received from cahoot. However, I'm not about to let any bank dictate my choice of browser, especially when there's no good reason for it.
    Regards
    Rory

  • I updated to the latest version of Safari now I cannot log into certain websites like my online banking.  How do I revert back to an older version?

    I updated to the latest version of Safari now I cannot log into certain websites like my online banking.  Another reason I loved using this computer was autofill, now that does not work the same either, I have to respond twice to get my info to fill in.  I fill out many forms in a day and this change has been so bad that I have downloaded Mozilla Firefox to use instead.  I hope apple fixes these issues but until then how do I revert back to an older version of Safari?

    Quit Safari.
    Open Keychain Access   /Applications/Utilities
    Select Passwords on the left. Delete any keychains for sites you have problems logging into.
    Relaunch Safari. Go to Safari / Preferences - Autofill. Make sure all three boxes are selected.
    Now navigate to a site, login with your user name and password. You should be prompted to save that data to a new keychain. Click Yes.
    If you still have problems, go to ~/Library/Cookies. Move the Cookies.plist file to the Trash.
    ~ (Tilde) represents your Home folder.
    Try logging into a site again.

  • Safari won't display online banking login - ipad mini

    Hi, my ipad mini has stopped displaying my online banking login page in safari. It is ok when using iPhone 4S and ipad. Have not got any idea as to why but it is driving me NUTS!
    Please can someone help?

    Back up all data.
    Triple-click the line of text below to select it, the copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C):
    /Library/Internet Plug-ins
    In the Finder, select
    Go ▹ Go to Folder
    from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-G. Paste into the text box that opens (command-V), then press return.
    From the folder that opens, remove any items that have the letters “PDF” in the name. You may be prompted for your login password. Then quit and relaunch Safari, and test.
    The "Silverlight" web plugin distributed by Microsoft can also interfere with PDF display in Safari, so you may need to remove it as well, if it's present.
    If you still have the issue, repeat with this line:
    ~/Library/Internet Plug-ins
    If you don’t like the results of this procedure, restore the items from the backup you made before you started. Relaunch Safari again.
