I do (but I will suggest you a solution anyway at the end of this paragraph).
And yes, I have experience with some banks that support IE only (hint:
"IE only" politics usually just one of many other problems with such
banks).
Any bank who cares about stability, security and usability will not use ActiveX
and should support popular browsers, at least Firefox. If for some reason you
really have to work with a bank that doesn't care about you as a customer
and
ignores your important requests (for example, full support for multiplatform
browser) and forces you to use something you can't use easily or safely like
ActiveX, IE, etc. you can use VirtualBox or VMWare (of course you have to have
Windows in this case and waste you memory and disk space, and CPU cycles just
for that "bank" and its ignorant policies).
Wine never was 100% perfect with IE of any version because of two reasons:
most users don't care about IE for obvious reasons including insecurity, and
IE
uses a lot of API that many other applications don't need. For these reasons
IE support improves slowly. If you think you one of a people who cares about IE
support in Wine and want to help (both Wine project and other people who need
better IE support in Wine) - send patches or at least non-duplicate bug
reports.
