What bank is that?

As mentioned, the major banks (CBA, BankWest etc) support 128bit
encryption on US and International browsers, but I don't know of all banks
& credit unions have paid what would most likely be an absurd amount for
those special SSL certificates.

I know that at least when I had an account with the "Advantage Credit
Union" the first time I connected, it warned me I was only connecting at
40bit, and when I fortified Netscape it assured me I was connecting at 128
bit.

No it means you don't need java at all, so the version that comes with
SO5.2 is irrelevant.
