Just cos its not supported doesn't mean it'll stop working! I'd just make sure you back it up properly ( to your linux box) then re-install if it gets compromised - and tell your bank to get its act together, or move to one that supports ffox or your favourite browser. Or alternatively set your browser to pretend its ie if you can - that often works. There are a few sites that do some support for win3.1 and 95 so maybe they'll do 98 too.
