Not yet registered for EasyWeb? No problem. Simply visit any TD Canada Trust branch to have EasyWeb access connected to your Small Business Banking Access Card.

That all depends on your bank. I got my debit card duplicated and somebody took $500 out of my account. The bank called me up before I even noticed the money was missing. They asked if I made the charge. I said I didn't, and the money was back in my account within 5 days. I had to go down to my local branch and pick up a new debit card, but there was very little trouble on my part. Just as a reference, my bank is TD Canada Trust.

BTW my bank's interweb site says "You will receive 100% reimbursement in the unlikely event account losses occur resulting from unauthorized EasyWeb activity."

Really? This must be some time ago. I haven't encountered any problems with most government (CRA, Statcan (census) and the like) or bank websites and I'm running Firefox on Linux and Safari on the Mac (which is a minority browser). The only exception is the Air Canada site, which seems to be IE centric.

In fact the Canada Revenue Agency website even supports Opera, among other things.

CIBC, Royal Bank, ScotiaBank, TD Bank, PC Financial all support Safari and other minority browsers

That sounds almost as cool as the cellular Interac terminals that TD Canada Trust has had for years. Now pizza deliveries show up at your door, swipe your bank card, you put in your PIN, and it authorises over the cellular network. Within a few seconds you have your receipt and your pizza, and no need for cash. Talk about handy.

You obviously can't send money to an e-mail address

Sure you can.

I agree with you that client-side Java is still immature (especially Applets, ick). On the other hand, Java's definitely a great tool for the server side, or embedded apps.

Case in point? My bank uses Java on their servers. Online banking. Payments, transfers, whatever I want. It's responsive and reliable.

I might be biased too. In my current job I am programming an enterprise web application in Java. It's quite stable, using Linux, Apache and Tomcat. We've not had any problems (aside from hardware issues occasionally) in over two years since switching to this setup.

I use TD Canada Trust myself, and I find it to be great - and I'm not the only one who likes it. They don't mention browser compatibility, but I've had no problems in any browsers I've ever used. Mozilla's always worked fine, as has Netscape 4 and IE. Konqueror I don't have, but I'm confident it works. Lynx and w3m I'm not sure about, but I'm installing them on my Linux box now.

Incidentally, I checked their webserver, which tells me 'Server: IBM_HTTP_SERVER/1.3.19.2 Apache/1.3.20 (Unix)'. I found that as interesting as I found the fact that they're using Java servlets - meaning they're using Tomcat (directly, that is, which is a possibility) or WebSphere (more likely). If they're using IBM, I'd be willing to wager they're either running AIX or Linux, but I'm not about to nmap one the largest bank in Canada; somehow, I suspect they'd notice.

Incidentally, the site doesn't work in Lynx or w3m; w3m doesn't even show the login box; lynx shows it, but when it's submitted, you get the same page back. Then again, this happens a lot with lynx, since it's a pretty crappy browser in the first place, but still.

For reference, the URL used was https://easyweb37b.tdcanadatrust.com/servlet/ca.td bank.banking.servlet.DefaultServlet - my bookmark for one frame of their frameset (which they use so that people don't copy URLs that will/may later stop working because of logout/site redesign).

Still, a top-notch site, and a functional one that uses javascript in effective ways, despite not validating through the w3c's validator under any circumstances or Document Types (not that any problems are real problems, mind you; it just seems to be a hodgepodge of new stuff like <link .... /> and old stuff like <nobr>).

I've had no trouble with Mozilla and TD's Easyweb service. Pay bills, transfer money, etc. Nice clean layout too.

It's not easy being green. It takes way more food coloring than you'd think.

That's, as would my bank say, you're insolyent.
