AIB on line banking on Apple Ibooks

tech

Im just wondering does anyone know does AIB on line banking work on I Book g4?

The ordinary online banking should be fine in Safari or Firefox. But the online business banking I think will only work on a PC with Internet Explorer and the Java VM (Microsoft, not Sun).

Yeah. The business banking needs IE for definite-not sure about the standard banking-I think it may also need Java.

I used my standard internet banking in Firefox (Windows) last night. It doesn't need Java.

personal banking works fine, I'd imagine business does as well, theres always a work around, you can get IE for OSX as well(older 4.7 version)

But MS JVM isn't meant to be distributed anymore.
A quick glance at AIB's website suggests that FireFox is supported.

My recommendation: contact AIB and try get facts.

I have a client who bought a PC solely for the use of AIB business banking online.

That said, it was two years ago, but as the guys said, better check for certain that it works with Mac. Due to the secuity invloved, its more than just the browser that comes into play

You needed MSJava the last time I checked (Monday)

It don't come with XP and Microsoft no longer supply it on their site so you have to download it from a third party site. AIB don't offer it as a download either. You are looking for version 3805. There is a patch to version 3810 on microsofts site which you can put on top of that.

AIB's support line is 1890 42 22 42

Oh and you need to disable SUN java in options , advanced too


EDIT - MSJVM is needed for https://ibusinessbanking1.aib.ie/index.html - business banking

So basically if you want to do it from your iBook, you need virtual PC.

I've used the standard AIB Internet Banking on Firefox/IE on PC and Firefox/Safari on MAC.

No issues at all
