You have half of what is needed to run Bank Mode.

The missing part is Avast Secure Browser. 

You can get it here:  https://forum.avast.com/index.php?topic=93544.msg1456486#msg1456486

Watch the video and then download the browser.  All credit goes to bob3160,

I have the same problem and I have the update of Secure Browser as well as Avast. The link to open Bank Mode looks live but it doesn't respond. Please advise - thank you!

Exactly the same problem. Antivirus is up to date and bank mode will not start. Advanced settings simply do not respond - click, nothing.

Same problem. Clicking on bank mode from security and privacy center does nothing. However, I can open bank mode from the system tray icon. Confusing situation.

What version of avast?  Free, Pro, Internet Security, Premier, Ultimate?

What build number?  (See attached below for how to find build number)

Latest version does not show a security and privacy center that has an Avast Secure Browser feature.
Windows 10 Home 64-bit 22H2 Avast Premier Security version 24.1.6099 (build 24.1.88821.762)  UI version 1.0.797

I have same problem. My OS is Windows 7 and I have full Avast Internet Security. My SafeZone has just been updated to Avast Secure Browser and despite going in through the security and privacy centre, the Bank Mode icon appearing in green, clicking on Open will not activate it!  I do the banking for my whole family in Bank Mode so am lost without it!  Please help - any suggestions greatly appreciated.

Hi ValP28,

Try right-click avast icon in lower right corner and select 'Bank Mode'.

Also here bank mode is not working any more: nothing happens when I click the green button "open" (yesterday it was working ok).

However, this is what helped me: I click the "Scan My PC"  button (left next to the open bank mode button), then bank mode started working again...

Thanks for your reply but I have already tried that.  I have since discovered that the Avast Secure Browser is not compatible with NatWest Online Banking. As Bank Mode only opens within the Avast Secure Browser and not one of the compatible browsers listed by NatWest, therein lies the problem!

If it opens in Chrome, it should also open in the Secure Browser.
