Just a quick warning;
I tried to get on line with the Nat West bank yesterday afternoon at 1500Z from my favourites list and was unable to do so (1mg broadband). I edited the address line on IE to www.nwolb and without noticing it IE changed it to nwilb and took me to an identical site. where the usual questions were asked.
One difference was that the pin number request didn't move to the next box when it asked for 3 numbers and instead of asking for random letters in the password it asked for the password in full.
At this point my suspicions were confirmed and I left the site.
I have informed Nat West of the site.
