Other web browsers
There are some basic actions which nearly every web browser will allow you to perform to restore the much of the functionality of the browser to it's default state. Unfortunately you'll have to find out where to trigger them in the web browser you use yourself. Detailed below are the actions you'll need to perform. You may need to consult your web browsers help documentation to discover how this is done.
- Clear the browsers history of visited websites and clear the browsers disk cache.
- Make sure that JavaScript and cookies are enabled.
- Make sure that SSL encoding is enabled.
- Make sure that pop-up windows are not being blocked for the PSIS website.
In many of the newer web browsers there's an option to change the size of the text displayed on websites. In Internet Explorer this option is generally found in the "View" menu, under the heading "Text Size". The default setting is "Medium", that is what the PSIS website has been designed to be viewed under. If you have a setting in your browser for anything different to the default size the text will not be displayed as intended. In the latest version of Netscape Navigator the text size option can be found under the menu item "Text Zoom" and the default setting is "100% (Original Size)".
I am not running pop-up blocking software
All you need to do is fill in your customer number and password in the appropriate fields. As soon as you have done this the login button becomes active and you can click on it to login.
If the login button is still inoperable it is due to one of two things. Either you have put an invalid account number in the customer number field or you have put in a password which does not meet the requirements for an internet banking password. The requirements for an internet banking password are: minimum of 8 characters in length, maximum of 15 characters in length, the password must be alphanumeric (comprised of both letters and numbers).
I am running pop-up blocking software or have a web browser which automatically blocks pop-up's
The new window created to provide a secure environment for your internet banking is blocked by these programs and that's why nothing is happening.
Most anti pop-up software has an option to allow website's you explicitly define to create pop-up windows. If you add PSIS to the list of accepted sites you should be able to use your Internet Banking without any problems.
If you're unable to locate an option to allow only PSIS Internet Banking through your pop-up blocker you'll need to disable the software to gain access. You should be able to re-activate it after you have finished doing your banking.
When the login button is clicked a secure window is created, your login details are processed then, as a security precaution, the customer number and password fields are blanked.
In some web browsers the secure window is opened on top of the home page, the login details get processed, then when the customer number and password fields are blanked the home page window is bought back in front of the secure window to do so. The secure window is still there, it's just behind the home page. All you need to do is minimise or close the home page window to gain access to the secure window underneath.
This is because you do not have cookies enabled. As part of our security policy PSIS uses session cookies to verify your identity once you have logged in to PSIS Internet Banking.
Every time you perform a transaction or view a Internet Banking page the cookie is checked to confirm your identity. If you don't have cookies enabled this is unable to take place and your Internet Banking session times out. Once you have finished using PSIS Internet Banking the cookie is removed from your computer.
Listed below are instructions for enabling cookies in most web browsers. If your web browser is not listed and you do not know how to enable cookies you'll need to consult the help files associated with the software you are using.

To access the login webpage simply click the "Login" link in the top right corner of this webpage. A new secure window will be created and the login webpage will be loaded inside.
