FNB has announced that it will no longer support Microsoft Internet Explorer 8 (IE8), and will begin phasing out the “old technology” on 14 September 2014.<\/p>\n

In an email sent out to clients, the bank said that any of its banking customers still using IE8 will be unable to access online banking once the phasing out begins.<\/p>\n

“We are phasing out Internet Explorer 8 in September of this year. If you’re still using this outdated browser, you’ll no longer be able to access the FNB website or login to your banking profile. ”<\/p>\n

“We therefore recommend that you upgrade to the most recent version,” FNB told clients.<\/p>\n

The phasing out is a direct result of Microsoft stopping support for Windows XP.<\/p>\n

Support for Windows XP stopped on 8 April 2014, and Internet Explorer 8 is the only version of Internet Explorer that is available to use on Windows XP.<\/p>\n

“FNB cannot be restricted by the limitations Internet Explorer 8 imposes on our ability to develop a world class Online Banking system.”<\/p>\n

“To this end we recommend that if you use Windows XP you download Google Chrome or Mozilla Firefox to operate our solution effectively,” FNB said.<\/p>\n
