I don't know how well this would work, but I could put it on my server 
as an ISO or something, and I'll send you a link so you can download it. 
Might be a bit slow though- I get less than 256kbps upstream.

Security shouldn't be much of an issue then- just wipe it and install 
the bare minimum for the banking (and antivirus).

Though, as has probably already been suggested IE works well in WINE. I 
don't know if there is other software you need for it.
