	* Introduce your Online Service to Opera *
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Some online services do not recognize the Opera Web browser.
Consequently, either the page does not display properly in Opera or
Opera users cannot access the site.

If you experience such difficulties with your online service, we
advise you to contact the organization and let them know that you are
having problems accessing their site with Opera.

Please refer them to <http://www.opera.com/why/test/> and send an
e-mail in English, if possible, to <[email protected]> with the
following information:

-Financial online service contacted
-URL to online service
-Contact address to the bank/e-mail address
-Description of the problem
-Browser identification (look in File/Preferences/Network or press
'F12' for Windows)
-Which operating system you are using (Windows, Linux, Mac, etc.)

If you receive a response from the service, please forward it to
<[email protected]>.

Thank you for helping us open the Web for all.
