Another suggestion: Given that the bank charges are lower for transactions made via their Web site than when they involve a warm and breathing teller, it may be a good idea to petition the banks and the regulator of the banks for lower charges for people who cannot access the bank's Web site and go instead to speak with a living teller (to make them equal to the charges to people who use the Web site).
For me, inability to access the bank's Web site is due to my lack of time to follow all security patches and practices needed to continue to safely use IE.
