Homebanking

This page is to discuss about Linux & Homebanking. It may contain both technical workarounds (use specific browser, manipulate user agent, ...) and political actions (letter writing campaigns, ...)

Please put the dates when you change the state of some information.

• BglHomebanking : works with Firefox 1.0x on all platforms. Other browsers (such as Safari) are usable with minor tweak to remove a browser check. A pre-prepared login page with the browser check removed may be found here. Does not work with Firefox 1.5
• Dexia-Bil : On 1 March 2005, Dexia-Bil states in a private email that "la nouvelle sécurité de dexiaplus est compatible avec tous les systèmes d'exploitation (Windows, MacOS, Linux,...) et avec tous les navigateurs utilisant le SSL 128 bits ( pour exemple: Internet Explorer, Mozilla Firefox, Safari, Konqueror,....)."

Update (30/03/2005): Their new system now works perfectly with other browsers than MSIE (tested with Firefox 1.0.1 and Safari so far).

• CCP : works flawlessly
• Spuerkees : works flawlessly
• INGAccording to www.ing.lu on 2 March 2005, ING supports "Windows / Mac / Linux; Internet Explorer, Safari ou Mozilla" since october 2004.
• AXA / banque Ippa june 2004 : officially supports only MSIE and refuses to acknowledge the existence of others such as MacIntosh or Linux
• BL] (Banque de Luxembourg): only supports MSIE, no MAC, no GNU/Linux (didn't do any further inquiries however). Question: can anybody who has an account with them check whether the [[workaround for Fundmarket] also work for BL (they are the same company).

Update (20/09/2006): the technical support of Banque de Luxembourg stated in a telephone call that they are now supporting Firefox 1.5.x on all platforms with and without client certificate and Safari without client certificate. They left the browser check, so Opera is still not supported. (this should also be true for the FundMarket site - testing required..)

• FundMarket: related to Banque de Luxembourg (a subsidiary of BL, use the same software?). Only accepts MSIE (and apparently Firefox on Macintosh?). They are willing to change though, if they get many calls: (+352) 26 20 26 30 (Monday to Friday from 7h30 to 18h00, or Saturday from 9h00 to 13h00). There is also an [1] has a workaround online form available where you may request to be called back. Service may be tested even by those who don't have an account by just looking at the graphs for their "colored" mutual funds (left hand side of their http://www.fund-market.lu/StaticFMC/001/langue1/accueil/content.htm, "Accès direct" selector). Symptoms are: java applet window comes up, but stays white, while a single 0 is printed to the Java Console. The [[LLL Web Banking Site]. The workaround involves a special URL to bypass their MS JavaVM/VBScript check, and recommends changing the browser's HTTPUSER_AGENT string to bypass a second check based on that!
• Raiffeisen : works flawlessly
