Actually, no. BayBank up in Boston (now part of BankBoston) licensed
CitiBank's PC banking program, and I used it when I lived there and
was a BayBank customer. It's a simple but efficient text-based
program, oriented toward transactions rather than Quicken-type
record-keeping, and exists in Windows and Mac versions.
