I know M&T bank in the US does not support Safari, and looking at this
http://www.ukbusiness.hsbc.com/publi...nk_reqts.jhtml HSBC does not in the UK (for Business at least). Don't ask, upgraded Motherinlaws mac to X.3 and iLife04, told her she was best to use Safari on this new platform and get called 3 days later as she cannot do any banking anymore. Yes bad programming by the bank, but how do you forsee these things. They make it work for 95% of people (which is pleasing almost all the people all of the time).
HSBC business banking requires a digital cert on the PC you log on from (most personal banking doesn't), so its a bit of red herring to post it here and way off topic anyway.

Their credit card virtual terminal (an on line swipe machine) also requires one.
Not sure about their personal banking, but the demo is windoze only
