I have been in the past! Also until recently several others sites (Argos
et al) were insisting on IE too.

I can't vouch for it working with the Natwest site but you could try
this addon for Mozilla which allows you to quickly switch the User-Agent
header the browser sends with each request:

It would be interesting to know exactly why Natwest are insisting on IE.
Do they really think because Mozilla/Konqueror are open-source anybody
who wants to could slip in extra Root CA certificates etc?
