In order to continue to provide the best possible user experience, Microsoft will discontinue support of Internet Explorer version 8 in the upcoming months. According to Microsoft, the “newest Internet Explorer offers improved security, increased performance, better backward compatibility, and support for the modern technologies that power today’s websites and services. Microsoft encourages customers to upgrade and stay up-to-date on the latest browser for a faster, more secure browsing experience.”

While you are still able to use eMoney on older versions of Internet Explorer after the Microsoft update, it’s important to note that eventually, we will have to follow Microsoft’s lead and will discontinue support for Internet Explorer version 8. Because of this, we suggest you upgrade your browser at your earliest convenience.

Below are a few of the most important sections of Microsoft’s support page that we think will help you adapt to their changes:

How long will the most current version of Internet Explorer remain supported?

Internet Explorer is a component of the Windows operating system and the most current version will continue to follow the specific support lifecycle policy for the operating system for which it is installed. To find the support lifecycle dates for all operating systems, search the Support Lifecycle Database.

What happens if I don’t move to the latest browser by the end of support on January 12, 2016?

You have until January 12, 2016, to upgrade your browser after which time the previous versions of Internet Explorer will reach end of support. End of support means there will be no more security updates, non-security updates, free or paid assisted support options, or online technical content updates.

What resources are available to help me upgrade?

Microsoft offers numerous free and paid support offerings for customers you to migrate to the latest version of Internet Explorer. Please visit the Internet Explorer blog for more information.
