I've just spent two quid on a day's 3G service, and that used Lloyd's
Clicksafe.  The certificate is www.clicksafe.lloydstsb.com (or was it
.co.uk) directly signed by Verisign and Firefox displayed a blue Lloydstsb
tag in the top bar (not a green EV, sadly).  So it would be good if the
bank told you to look for that, but once you know that it's the LTSB
certificate that you're expecting then you're on fairly solid ground.
