Don't know the answer to that but I know NTL had interactive banking from Abbey National as did Sky I think.

Interactive TV was expected to be a huge thing with us shopping, banking and all manner of things but history tells us it didn't really pan out like that. People used their PC's instead which became more widespread with the advent of decent broadband connections and much cheaper hardware.

We all ended up using Digital TV STB's to....watch TV!

No doubt much to the operators dismay.
