Which bank(s) in Europe do you know that do not use any kind
of scripting and can be guaranteed not to, ever?

Of the half dozen or so of my accounts that I have tried to
login to using Netsurf I have (so far) found two where I can
at least access the account, though I did not try to carry
out a transaction. In the UK, Cahoot, in Germany, VR-Bank
etc.

The following failed: RBS + NatWest (UK) (unsupported
browser), Cumberland Building Society Business Banking (UK)
(Virtual keypad does not work), HSBC (France) (Returns to
Login Screen), Citibank (Belgium) (Blank Screen),
Postfinance (Switzerland) (JavaScript required).

I imagine most others would fail too, for any number of
reasons, not necessarily scripting.
