This site is clean and I’d say shows respect to their customers by not bombarding them with adverts and confusion. It only has 2 buttons on the homepage.

I’m not a fan of banks, and think if i was looking for a bank I’d been keen to talk to them. They seem different. Reality is they probably still stuff you with fees and charges.

But I agree, welcome pages are not a good thing anymore. Those goofy keyboards aren’t good either, what if someone doesn’t have a mouse, or is handicapped in some way? Web pages should be built to be handicap accessible, as should buildings.

Excessive use of javascript is a bad idea, and popup (or popunder) are also really bad ideas, as many folks are not running the same version of browsers, and often times have popup blockers.

A professional looking website should be intuitive, easy to use, attractive, and contain all the information you need with a minimal amount of clicks/gestures.

Their current annoying trick is that once you click on the login to internet banking button that is conveniently placed on the front page it pops the internet banking in a new window and navigates the original window to a useless marketing fluff page with no usefull links on it. Not annoying for most people, except those who have to log into multiple profiles. \

And if you navigate the original window away from the NAB site too quickly before the internet banking window has properly loaded the internet banking window fails due to missing JS references that for some reason are tied to the original window some how.
