Any FX platforms from banks catering for retail traders?

Looks like some international banks have already provided their online FX platforms targeting the market of active retail traders.

Have you tried any of them? How do you compare them against other spot FX platforms?

Perhap we should produce a list here for easy reference and comparison.

Who are the others?
 
I think the major banks will offer FX trading to retail traders in the future, they offer stocks and options so why not FX at leverages of 100:1? I'm with BMO InvestorLine and wish they offered FX.

Retail FX isn't taken seriously and is on the same level as poker, bingo, lotto 649, etc. Those forex info commercials and RefcoFX don't help, but I do think in 5 -10 years FX will have a better reputation.
