Technical requirements

To ensure you get the most out of our Web site and eBanking solution, in terms of accessibility and speed of navigation, there a couple of things that we would like you to be aware of.

Security: e-Safekey or ActivCard?
National Irish eBanking offers two security systems: e-Safekey and ActivCard. The one you should choose depends on the type of computer you use:

Apple Mac users must use ActiveCard.
On PCs using any Windows operating system (95,98, 2000, XP, etc.), the default option is e-Safekey, although you can also use ActiveCard.

Browser
A browser is a program that is used to display Web sites. Your choice of browser is therefore crucial in determining how well you can surf the net!

Click here to see the browsers that we have tried and tested and prove to be the most effective for our customers.

Internet connection
The speed of your Internet connection (i.e. ISDN, broadband) determines how quickly web pages appear on your PC.

We recommend that you have a telephone modem connection of at least 56K or an ISDN connection to ensure our Web pages appear promptly on your PC as you navigate our Web site. Of course pages will load more quickly if you are using ADSL or cable modem connection.

Monitor
The resolution and size of your monitor (screen) will also affect the appearance of the Web pages. For example, a smaller screen may affect the font size of the Web page text or a scroll bar may appear on the right hand side of the screen to enable you to scroll to the text at the bottom of the web page.

We design our Web site and most of the functions in eBanking for a screen resolution of 800x600 pixels, which is the standard resolution for a 15" screen.

If your browser window is smaller than the size a Web site is designed for, you will see a scrollbar. Use the scrollbar to see the entire page.

Accessibility
To ensure customers can access our Web site in a speedy fashion when they want and wherever they want, we check our Web site and eBanking solution against the W3C validation service.

You can read more about W3C at www.w3.org.

If you are in doubt, check your computer
If you are in doubt about whether your PC meets our recommendations, you can easily check them. Use the Check your computer function, which automatically determines your PC's specifications. You can see immediately whether you can use our Internet services at the optimal level.
