RBS and HSBC using Rapport any advice or opinions?

[Peter Sommer]

I found it pretty kludgy - on the XP system where I had it installed it 
left a whole series of processes which didn't close down properly when I 
went through a regular close down of XP itself - a succession of windows 
appeared and you had to terminate the processes manually.

In terms of your liability if you don't use it - you have an obligation 
to exercise reasonable care but it is not for the banks to tell you how 
specifically to exercise it,  particularly as I strongly suspect that 
Rapport themselves are not guaranteeing either to you or the bank that 
if you deploy its product they will in all circumstances make good any 
loss you incure through fraud.
