FNB website notice shock
A number of Firefox and Chrome users were greeted with the troubling message on Monday (15 April 2013) saying that their browser of choice would no longer be supported by the First National Bank (FNB) online banking website.
“From June [2013] your browser will no longer be supported”, the website stated, along with a link to download Internet Explorer 10.
The implication that customers will have to switch to Internet Explorer 10 to use online banking did not sit well with many users.
One concern raised is that Internet Explorer 10 does not run on platforms other than Windows 7 and Windows 8.
However, a FNB spokesperson has explained that the bank is only stopping support for Internet Explorer 7 (IE7) and it is reworking the information to clearly indicate that only access via IE7 is being closed in June.
