Bank websites

[Duane Attaway]

You might like Commerce Bank.  Everything works on my G1 Android browser. 
I strongly suspect the guys who are in charge of the site are all unix 
guys.  It has a good feel.  Its been a while since I desposited or cashed 
a check, but I believe the image is a clickable pdf.  They use a little 
javascript, but it seems to work well.  No evil flash or any of that crap. 
SSL is deep as it gets. Commerce passes my Linux friendly tests.

Every time that I have called them, they answered within two rings and you 
can tell they were locals.  No customer service scripts.  There was a 
voice menu if you didn't want to talk with a person, but getting a person 
only took several seconds, NEVER minutes.  FIRST CLASS SERVICE!

I hope Commerce never sells out and does a Sprint.
