The technology is mature enough, just project managers for the Internet Banking departments are immature. I've had 1st-hand experience of it when I was in the US:- & overseas Americans quite happily check their accounts whilst here in Australia, I've watched them on my P133mmx Toshiba Laptop running OS/2. Australia is 2-3 years behind the US, not because we don't have the technology, just the thinking of the Internet Departments is 2-3 behind the rest of the world. Change control, advance notice of "upgrades", extensive beta-testing programs, standards compliance, all mean better service & less problems.

There was a 60 meg install required and only on a win box. I know I can use ANZ in Aust. ok but havn't re-appraised NZ. I know USA and Germany have very mature internet banking systems. Mature, considered management. Wish they would settle down here. Wait untill more people have PDA's than PC's and want to bank with them. I honestly can't see why they don't use ssh clients, run on anything and run the application at the bank. May not be as flashy but its got to be reliable and secure. steve On Fri, 18 May 2001 16:27:27 +1000, Ed Durrant wrote: >I remain very happy with my ANZ internet banking solution.

I have the same trouble - I bank here with a credit union which is linked to NAB, and I have an account at the BNZ in New Zealand. The NAB fully owns the BNZ BUT I still have to do TTs and so forth as if they didn't know each other.
