None state that they need it for the site to work.

That is not to say that they do not need it, but given that most were  
fairly explicit about the software requirements, I'd say that it is  
unlikely that javascript is required. I obviously can't test all of  
the sites: I'm not particularly keen to open accounts with each bank.
