I use lloydstsb their ebank online banking works perfectly with every
browser I've tried.. generally I haven't had any problems with it [1]. It
uses pretty simple html and I was able to write a perl script to download
my account statements and stuff them into a postgresql db. I also have
accounts with HSBC and although they originally didn't work with
mozilla/galeon they do now so I guess I'd give them a recommendation as
well.

[1] Asside from that one instance when they accidently transferred their
online banking domain (online.lloydstsb.co.uk) to ns1.lloyds.co.uk /
ns2.lloyds.co.uk an unaffiliated outside computer company with nothing
whatsoever to do with lloydstsb.
