I bank with the HSBC. A bank that admittedly has had it's fair share of ethical problems in the past, but now by all accounts seems to be making an effort to work ethically (Ref 1, Ref 2, Ref 3, Ref 4, Ref 5, Ref 6) which is a real result.

Now, I was in my nearest branch on Saturday, because I needed to request a replacement debit card as my current one is damaged. As the lady who served me was pootling away on her computer, I observed that the whole thing was web-driven. I then noticed a tell-tale lizard icon at the top-left of the window. It was the blue version from pre-1.0 Mozilla. HSBC's branches are using Mozilla. That's 1,670 branches in the UK. Not only that, but their UK online banking service works just dreamily in the ol' Lizard we all know and love. I'm very impressed with HSBC right now on so many levels, I hope they keep up the good work.
