The bankers themselves are wonderful, helpful people.

The online banking (which I want to use a lot) needs a lot of work.

1) Does not allow logins from linux desktops

2) Password entry uses a virtual keyboard where you manually click on-screen letters with a mouse; this discourages logging in and encourages worse passwords.

3) The actual online interface has significant work to do to catch up to that of larger commercial banks.

Agree with all of these points, except that I've never had to use a virtual keyboard; password entry does use sort of an odd widget, but I can type normally into the password field (typically Chrome/OSX).

Thanks especially for noting the linux problem; I'd forgotten about that.
