> Many banks have very strict IT policies on posting things on internet

Yes, they do. And I really love it. Because it means that MY bank eats their lunch, because the bank I work for actually UNDERSTANDS how to use technology, while still keeping (very!) strict controls.

Would be curious which bank you work for. Most do not seem to value technology--which is odd, since most "cash" only exists as data in a computer somewhere. I'd much prefer to patronize a bank that understands and takes seriously their tech.

I work at Capital One. We have been a bank (and are regulated as one), but are trying hard to become a technology company that is specifically focused on banking.

And I'm probably biased, but I think we have some pretty great products also (checking accounts with no fees that pays some interest, savings accounts with very good rates, and so forth), so maybe you'll get a good deal as well as a technical focus.
