From Barclays:

"Can I use Online Banking abroad?
You can use the service in most countries but some do not allow encrypted data to be sent over a public phone network. If you're in doubt, check with the relevant consulate or embassy before using the service outside the UK. "

Did not take me long to check these did it

This is again a good example ... the customer is informed ... I could access other accounts online through encrypted information ie. HTTPS.

May be it is in India.

I can in India as I could access a couple of my other account ie. HSBC, credit cards AANDL, Nationwide, CITIBANK Account .. though credit cards from AANDL are administered through MBNA.

Basically the law of India does not restrict access as it would have restricted access to all my other UK accounts.

I think you're right. Typical countries that don't allow encrypted connections are the ones that tend to have internet censorship.

Another statistic for all ... http://www.rediff.com/money/2005/dec/08remit.htm
$21.7 billion send to India from Indians working abroad ... highest in the world in 2004 ... I wouldnt think India would want to block $21.7 billion entering their forex reserves

Actually funny you asked this as I am bit of a computer geek ... very sad n lonely but there you go ...

Port80 is used for www access everywhere in the world ... so if I had Port80 blocked through firewall on my computer I would not be able to get onto the internet in the first instance.

You could type in port 80 in google and gets loads of info ... :eek:

Oh and one more important information I did not use the online account for any international transactions , I just used it to pay bills transfer money to other UK accounts etc ...

I tried both firefox n IE when I was in india i could get to the page put my details in but after that you got a message saying that the facility is blocked.
