Something to keep in mind is that some browsers implement their own dns resolving routines, instead of using the system's. I would assume that they'd consult the host file, but with web browsers being as complex, insecure, and error-prone as they are, one should never take anything for granted.
By the way, does your bank not use HTTPS? If it does, you shouldn't have to worry about dns poisoning. If it doesn't, I'd be more concerned by a man-in-the-middle.
