Smile (also part of the co-op group) have a website which is strongly
mozilla compatible (the major gripe I have is that uou cannot select
text boxes with the mouse - you need to tab to them).  I did actually
choose them on the basis of knowing other linux users that banked with
them.

I have previously heard that Barclays is browser agnostic.  My daughter
has a Nationwide account - that appeared to work OK with mozilla,
although as a child account the online interface is heavily restricted
anyhow.  Of the credit cards Egg & Capital One both work well.

There are a few items in the mozilla bugzilla (its a catagory on the
lines of tech-evangelism) regarding smile - it could be worth checking
there against other banks.

There was also a very useful "Banks & Browsers" document:-

However this now appears to be somewhat stale - updated in 2002.

	Nigel.
