Option 8, find other Linux users with same bank and collect a fund to contract someone to fix OpenJDK applet code to work with your online bank.

It may suck to be a Linux guy if you solely depend on goodwill of others. Sure, there is lot of goodwill around, but you can't depend on it. Free software really shines when people scratch their own itches and contribute back the results.
