Microsoft stops support on January 12, 2016
Internet Explorer 8, 9, 10
Early August 2014, Microsoft announced that it would end support for
Internet Explorer versions prior to IE 11 as of 12 January 2016
While Internet Explorer 11 has a whole set of new tools to better support
web pages designed for earlier versions, this means a significant impact
to most of the SWIFT community.

Check with the providers of your Browse services for their readiness
Alliance Access/Entry/Gateway patches released after 30 November 2015
