Haha, yep, that's my bank alright. Still, i'm not silly enough to =20
download anything my "bank" asks me to (as I believe no bank would =20
ever ask a customer to download anything) so I still feel pretty safe.

Also, I find the online service of Nordea excellent in terms of =20
functionality. One thing I miss with Natwest is the ability to do =20
international transactions online. Are there any British banks =20
offering this? I've enquired at a couple of banks but so far found =20
none. Would be a big selling point for me when looking for a new bank.
