Just out of curiosity -- what bank tasks are you referring to?
I've used a ton of different (mostly American) banks and other
financial services over the years and have never had any kind of
problem using their websites from Linux, including: Bank of America,
Chase, Capital One, Citi, Barclays, Fidelity, Schwab, American
Express, and probably some others I can't remember anymore.
Now, I'm sure someone out there can find one or two things they really
can only do on Windows. Personally, I have a Windows installation in a
VM just in case this happens to me, and I haven't booted it since
2010. So I'm going to go out on a limb and suggest that it's far from
the common case.
