Could simply be a matter of it not being worth their time and effort to maintain whatever functionality would be required for the site to work with Linux. Maybe it is simply a matter of not enough people using Linux for it to be worth their IT depts time.

While you were replying I tried my backup laptop with Ubuntu. It worked flawlessly. I cannot log in with NixOs. That seems really weird.

I'm on NixOS (using Firefox) here, and I could log into my Chase account just now. I don't think I have anything special installed.

Different user agent perhaps? Or a DRM component like widevine?

I don't think either of those. I think it might be the firefox package I installed. I think it was unwrapped firefox. I'm not up on the technicalities. That's just my guess.
