Online banking?

In_for_a_Bargain

Hi I wanna know what I can do about my online banking. (Please fell free to move this if it's in wrong place). I am registered to Natwest for online banking. Have just done an upgrade to Internet Explorer 8 and now it says that their online banking does not support IE8, anything I can do?

For a start you could tell us is firefox supported, latest update is 3.03, use firefox if its supported

Only Firefox 1.0, 1.5 and 2.0 are supported.

If it helps I am on the latest version of Firefox and have no problems here with banking online with Natwest.

Not sure what the problem could be, any browser should be able to read the page, have you tried speaking to Natwest to see if its a problem their end?

IE8 is still in its BETA stage. I would suggest uninstalling it and using Internet explorer 7. Though for banking, I would personally use FIREFOX with the NOSCRIPT plug in

And make sure your computer is free of spyware ~

UPATE, IMMUNISE and SCAN

UPDATE and QUICK SCAN

Airwolf1

As above said, I would uninstall it, or remove it from updates as it doesn't show in add/remove programs. I did try this Beta too, but it wasn't permitting sites I use to work correctly, not even in compatibility mode (which is something you could try, click the button to the right of the url field).

When you get the error message in IE8 click Tools and select "Compatibility View", this puts it into IE7 mode for that site, it should automatically refresh, if not click refresh button.

It works with my Internet banking.

You shouldn't really be using beta software for online banking anyway.

Hi. Thanks for all your helpful suggestions folks. Problem sorted. Rang Natwest and they told me that they don't use a browser until it is fully tested, IE8 is still in testing stage, have gone back to IE7 and all is well. Thanks again.
