First National Bank said that their online services will soon no longer support Microsoft's ageing Internet Explorer 6 web browser
By 20 March 2011 First National Bank (FNB) customers will no longer be able to access online banking, online sales as well as the fnb.co.za website via Internet Explorer 6, the bank said in a statement today.
“Access will be blocked via this browser as it offers outdated security features and is no longer widely used for internet access. The browser applications can be updated via a link on our homepage (www.fnb.co.za) at no charge,” said Lee-Anne van Zyl, CEO of FNB Online.
According to StatCounter.com IE6 enjoyed an 8.21% share of browser usage in February 2011 and has experienced declining usage since 2008.
FNB urged customers using Internet Explorer 6 to update their web browser as soon as possible.
This comes after Microsoft launched a campaign to encourage users to upgrade from Internet Explorer 6, saying “friends don't let friends use IE6.”
As a final warning, FNB emphasised that it will NOT send emails to its customers regarding Internet Explorer updates.
They would also never ask for your login details or your account details, FNB said.
