Credit Card Websites Who Support Mozilla?

Posted by Cliff on from the supporting-those-who-support-you dept.

citoc asks: "I'm currently planning on dumping my Capital One Card because I'm sick of them not supporting my browser of choice (if you don't support my browser, I'm not going to support you). So I'm wondering what credit card companies do support the use of Mozilla/Moz-based browsers for their websites, so I know to whom my money should go." Update: 12/03 21:41 GMT by C :It appears that Capital One is listening. Click below for good news for Mozilla users that happen to also be Capital One customers.

I got this in an email right before the Thanksgiving break:

You do matter. We opened up our site to Mozilla and Gecko based browsers on Nov 14. It was a lot more work than it looked like. We went through a great deal of testing to ensure the browsers would behave properly. A financial web site has a ton of underpinning backend functionality, so we struggle a little more with these changes than a site like USA Today. But we did it, and everyone should be good to go now. Let me know if you have any trouble with it. Ken Woelk Web Service Quality Capital One
Wow! They actually had this all done before the article went up. Thanks a bunch Ken for the hard work you and your team put in to make the Capital One website compatible with Mozilla users. I'm sure your work will be greatly appreciated in the future.

    I use it all the time with Mozilla.

    As an added bonus, I've got a LinuxFund card, which has the cute penguin on it, and seems to impress lots of sales clerks. :)

    I have:
    fleet boston
    bank of america
    providian

    all work fine in phoenix 0.4, and mozilla 1.0. I also do online banking with wellsfargo and that works fine with mozilla as well. I also have a chase card I just got, but never used it nor tried their online services yet. I haven't even gone out of my way to look for compadible cards, I've just been lucky I guess.

    I don't think fleet boston or providian render completely correctly but they do not turn me down(I don't do any user agent spoofing or anything). And I can navigate their sites just fine, so no complaints.

    I would return the chase card if they refused mozilla. since that card has less then 1/4th the credit line of my fleet card, almost 1/3rd the credit line of my bank of america card, almost 1/2 that of my providian card, so I wouldn't miss it :)

    (the OS I use is debian 3.0)

  5. Just install Netscape. by Wakko+Warner · · Score: 3, Informative

    And use Netscape for CapitalOne. Or change your useragent string.

    It's not rocket science.
