Hi Koh, The banks I use work with only free software (in my case Fedora and Firefox) though neither of them use Java (as opposed to JavaScript, which they do). I'm not sure if that's what you were after, but they are: http://www.barclays.co.uk/ http://www.barclaycard.co.uk/ (credit card arm of the above) http://www.nationwide.co.uk/ The places that manage my pension and stock options also work with free software, though considering who I work for I'd expect nothing less! http://www.scottishequitable.co.uk/ http://www.friendsprovident.co.uk/ http://www.fidelity.com/ Again, none of them use Java itself. And none of the sites I've mentioned actively support free software, but they don't actively block it either, which is an important step forward IMO.
