Dare I say it, but natwest have been very good to me, 

thier site even works on my linux box without much hastle (you did once
need java i think, but this might not be the case now as i never see it
load an applet) ive had no bother at all under mozilla, epiphany or
firefox,

we also have a mortgage with them, this however I would not reccomend,
its not cheap, 

the best thing about natwest is that you can do anything (apart from get
some foreign currency) at any branch or over the phone, none of this 'go
back to your branch' stuff like i got with lloyds.
