Hi All

Anyone successfully using Abbey National e-banking on their phone in the UK? Love to know how to set the correct security levels if it's possible at all using either WAP or Internet banking access.

Cheers :?

Well i know if you are using wap you have to select a secure connection but i do not know how to do this on the spv as i dont even know how to get the wap to work on it.

Most e-banking services now require specific browsers (IE or Netscape), and/or use frames.

This prevents me from using Natwest - but Orange has some new stuff coming shortly, which may resolve these problems...

Abbey National tell me they only support a very limited number of phones - and certainly haven't moved to include access for anything as funky as an SPV yet! Ah well.

It doesn't work with the Royal Bank of Scotland's Digital Banking either, but then again neither do Mozilla or Opera, hence I have to retain IE6 on my PC.

It's about time the banks realised that there are more than two browsers on the market.

It doesn't work on HSBC page either as it uses frames. It's even worse as thats what I work on in my job ;)

The Open Plan system orginally used by the Woolwich is the same, uses frames and they only support certain phones (mostly Nokia's with 1 ericsson).

They had better hurry up and sort it out with a new generation of phones round the corner, their mobile banking will become useless as nobodies phones would be able to use the sites.

The Barlclays ibank service seems to work fine. It's a bit tricky to use as it's designed to work with a pc browser but it does work.

All I'd ahve thought we need is the ability to use the WAP banking at least, by disabling the IE browser. Unfortunately WEBWAPSELECT doesnt make the Abbey site work either!

Me too, this would really make my SPV even more useful - the bank I use, DanskeBank, have a WAP bank but this is the 21st. century and I can't be havin' with WAP : )

Yeah but Halifax sucks... and don't reply with "Who gives you extra?" ;)

Natwest use frames, so their service won't work on the SPV.

As per my post above, Orange will be working with Natwest in order to release something which should work with all phones via WAP - no details about whether or not there'll be an SPV specific interface, so watch the space.

At the moment, the service they're working on already includes the following banks:

Abbey National (UK)

Bank of Scotland (UK)

Barclays (UK)

cahoot (UK)

Citibank Direct Access (UK)

Egg Banking (UK)

First Direct (UK) - Banking

Halifax Online (UK)

HSBC Bank (UK)

Lloyds TSB (UK)

Nationwide Building Society (UK)

smile (UK)

The Royal Bank of Scotland (UK)

Which isn't bad eh?

The Nationwide works a treat. They are the best bank to be with, on-line or otherwise :lol: .

I use Barclays and have made numerous transactions using my phone's browser. Was so chuffed when it worked!

If Barclays works on yours then Woolwich should work on mine as they bought their online banking system off Woolwich which is why they now own Woolwich. I take it you are using WAP and not the normal internet online banking?

Guest glynton

Nope... i'm using the internet connection, GPRS.

What makes you think it works with Smile?

Smile uses Java also so definately doesnt work on the Spv

Also it opens a new window, something else the Spv doesnt do.

It doesn't use Smile directly, it accesses Smile's services presumably from a backend connection of some sort.

Not sure of any release dates yet...

Are there any updates to E-banking sites that work on the Smartphone Pocket IE browser? I'm about to switch banks & I'd like to choose one that was at least compatible, but preferably optimied for mobile browsers.

From the previous posts, I take it that the following work:

Halifax

Nationwide

Barclays

Any others?
