The FAQs for it say that the only browsers one can use for online access are Netscape and Explorer. Since the former no longer exists and the latter is not available on the Mac platform any more, I wonder if anyone has any work-rounds.....
I've had the NW Visa credit card for the past 4 years, all of which spent living outside the UK, and have accessed their online system for the credit card since 2007 (IIRC) on a mac - using Safari or Firefox with minimal problems...
Will probably stick with it although I may look at the PO card soon. India is still such a cash society that we don't use the card as much as we did in Italy so won't lose quite as much as we might otherwise have done.
