ING states that they don&#8217;t support transaction download, while President&#8217;s Choice doesn&#8217;t answer specifically; both support &#8220;the current version&#8221; of Netscape, but only ING specifically mentions that Mozilla hasn&#8217;t been tested; neither support encrypted e-mail communication; and President&#8217;s Choice wins the award for the longest message with the most material unrelated to my questions (like an explanation of what 128-bit encryption is).

I like the approach they take, particularly their <a href=\"http:\/\/www.citizensbank.ca\/menuId\/60098\">ethical policy<\/a> (for example, they <q>will not invest in or do business with any company that manufactures tobacco products or derives significant revenue from tobacco-related production<\/q>).  All things being equal&#8211;and I can&#8217;t judge that yet&#8211;they&#8217;re probably first on the list.<\/p>\n\n<p>No answers yet from BMO.<\/p>\n\n<p>It surprises me that no financial institutions, particularly <q>virtual banks<\/q>, support encrypted e-mail; it seems a natural progression from requiring strong encryption for transactions.  I&#8217;m more surprised that signed mail seems to be completely ignored&#8211;even an overzealous virus filter that strips off attachments (like an S\/MIME signature) should still allow the text portion of the message through.<\/p><\/div><div class=\"syndication-links\"><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Answers from two of the online banks as of today.
