For you too it should be a business decision. If they can't serve pages in standards complaint format, you should just take your business elsewhere. Take a look at MJ Ray's list of online banking services with regards to compatibility with GNU/Linux, Firefox and other free browsers at http://mjr.towers.org.uk/blog/2007/banking and choose from one of them. And take a look at the linux fund credit card too. I don't know if they have a web interface workable with Linux though.
