Atomic browser (and probably other browsers on the app store) lets you specify the user agent of the browser to something like firefox so that your site will believe it's dealing with firefox...however if your site really requires a feature that is in firefox and not in safari it won't magically make safari have that feature.

If they're a very small time bank with outdated site, they may be using directX.

Sounds like it time to switch to another bank?

Another idea is to use Mint.com to import your bank accounts and keep track of it from the Mint app or their website.

Time to switch banks. My bank works fine on the iPad.

Come on people we all know ZZ meant active X.

Some sites use JavaScript for browser detection. Most of these browsers use the User Agent string to fool websites.

If the bank uses JavaScript, then alternate browser User Agent strings won't help. JavaScript is buried inside of WebKit in iOS so browsers like iCab and Atomic can't do much about it.

Hehe, thanks for pointing that out. I was typing that while watching a movie.

We can't all change banks,where I am at the moment all the banks use some sort of windows based security client that needs to be downloaded and installed locally. Not only that but some have USB dongles with certificates as well.
Browser spoofing won't fix those issues.

I think it will be along time before we can safely use Mac products for any banking site anywhere in the world I.e outside the US.
Ho hum..

Yeah, in the US, we're pretty lucky when it comes to banking sites and Apps. A bunch of banks even have custom iOS Apps (like Bank of America).

In Korea, almost all the banks, and eCommerce sites use Active X Plug-Ins. Things are slowly changing though.
