Whats lazy about wanting to access your bank account from your "smartphone" ??? If I'm at a sports event with no way to access a computer or bank and need to check my account to transfer funds (or check my balance) I would simply take advantage of the capabilities of my smartphone. Its 2015 and technology makes life easier.

Well, I tried and tried and it took more than 2 mins waiting to be rendered to the log in page every time I tried.

Well, there is not computers that I can use or trust at work; the closest BoA is 20 from my work and 10 from my house. So yes I can use my PC when I am home. But I would like to see what's going on in my accounts once in awhile while I am working the 3rd shift. And if you as an institution do not care about that, why would I give you my business?

USA must be an annoying country to be a WP user.

Doesn't anyone read the windowscentral news? Yesterdays news.

The BOA said customers can continue to use the mobile web site. However it appears that Bank of America's mobile website does not work with Internet Explorer 11 on Windows Phones.

Maybe you should understand what this thread is about before posting because this is exactly what we're talking about. If you read the thread first then you would know that SteveBor1 stated:

I just spoke to a rep and she confirmed that as of 3/10 the discontinue mobile web access for Windows Phone. So yes, they are blocking WP users.

Why do people "need" to check facebook or twitter form their phone? Or check email from their phone? Or even make phone calls on the go?

These are smartphones, old man. They exist and people do have certain expectations regarding what they can do with them.

Perhaps his example of sporting events was a poor one, but I can imagine many scenarios where having access to my accounts while away from my computer would be helpful. It doesn't take much imagination.

If you had an account, you'd find that you couldn't log on with it. I can get to the site on WP8.1.1, but can't login.

Correct. It doesn't let me log in. I'll be switching bank soon.

I've done it before, Why ? Because I didn't take my personal Debit card one night, I just had the Joint account (main household account) card on me, at a Red Sox game (yea, in Boston), so I used my phone to pull funds from my personal account to transfer to my Joint account, just to make sure, as my wife balances that account, and it some times run tight (and beers at a Rex Sox game are $8 each, so it adds up quick). Yes, a VALID reason for transferring money at a sports event.

It's modern ages old man, with LTE on our phones, I expect to be able to do anything on my phone that I can do on my computer from a web browser at least. So yes, banking.

Now, this could be a IE 11 issue, There are a few other browsers in the Marketplace, has anyone tried some others to see if they work with BOA ?

There has to be a work-a-round for this, with another browser or a 3rd party app (would like to avoid that for security reasons)

As switching is an idea, every where I go, there is a BOA, so access is easy for the most part, and something like Ally bank wont work as I do consulting time to time and get paid in cash, I cant put that money in the bank, it's pointless.

I need a workaround or to find a different phone

BOA F'n sucks for doing this to us....

re:

Not going to read this thread, but you guys found out that you can access the site easily by clicking full site right?

re:

No surprise that when they cut off WP app, they cut off mobile browser access that uses the user agent string of windowsphone as the app also used a webclient agent that identified as windowsphone in its UA. So switching to desktop mode should work as it modifies the UA string.

From what others have said, even the desktop site is not functional on IE for phone. Besides, saying you can do everything buy mobile check deposit seems a little like saying "Hey! I can do everything on ESPN's mobile site...except see scores." It's kind of an essential function for that business.
