The site has the following basic structure:

if (browser_is_IE) {
  // document.write normal HTML
} else {
  // document.write Netscape4-specific <layer> tags
}

one of the best references/recommendations I've found for encouraging financial institutions to support firefox is located at bankers on-line web site 

http://www.bankersonline.com/security/security_browserthreat070204.html 

It was written in 2004 during the download.ject attack, but much of it still applies today.  This is a good link to send when contacting banks.

Looks like they've redesigned the site; it looks identical and functional in Camino trunk, Minefield, and Safari. FIXED.
