Re: [Plug] Linux and Home Banking. -Reply


I use Commonwealth Bank (http://www.commonwealth.com)
Are locally based, alot of branches are open extended hours and located
in supermarkets, have free checking, and next month they're introducing
their online banking services, which are also free.
Minimum requirements are Netscape 2.0 or Internet Explorer 3.0
I guess it's safe to say it will work in Linux.
It also states that you can import your online statement into Quicken or
Microsoft Money. So, how this thread originally started: are there Linux
software pacakges that are similar or compatible with these?
