Why Is it that Financial Institutions always lagging behind at Supporting new Browser? [closed] I found that financial institutions are always a few rounds lagging behind when it comes to supporting new browser. A stellar example is QuickBooks, which doesn't support Google Chrome to access the QuickBooks online system.

"Multiple reasons.

They need to be dead sure that a new browser/platform wouldn't break security.
The financial organization itself is huge and most people there are stuck to using one particular browser due to policy restrictions for employees. That leads to ""new browser blindness"". People tend to solve problems that they are themselves affected by faster than ones that that don't affect them as much.
It's expensive to support another browser. cost-benefit analysis. Financial organizations are good at that :) For them it's not just a matter of downloading the latest browser and starting to browse.
A commitment to maintain. Once you support something, it's got to be supported for ever. See (3)."
