URL is in the error message.
The bank claims this problem, and this message, comes from Brave, not them.
Behavior is unchanged with or without shields.
Never use Chrome, but works on Firefox.
Brave 1.35.103
I see similar complaints, but no replies. ?
my brave can open this link effortlessly. check if you have any adblocker…dns or anything else that protect and scans network.

I don’t have a login to test, page opened fine. Does it work in private window mode ? @Glencul (or possibly try a new Brave profile)
Okay, Brave just recently started giving this error “access denied” to all bank type websites… I was able to logon and access statements until just recently. I’m not apt to go through all of the technical steps above to access my accounts. Does anyone know if there will be fix for this bug? Since I am using this for work purposes it it a big deal to not have access.
I switched to Firefox to simplify the environment.
On two otherwise identical android tablets, l have different versions of Firefox. On the latest Firefox release, l get the same resulting permission error message l get on Brave. The earlier version works just fine.
I tried to implement the exhausting technical steps suggested, but without much clarity on what exactly to set or specify, l’ve no good reason think l did everything correctly. Bottom line is after spending hours on this, nothing l did made any difference.
My current working assumption is that something in the recent releases of Firefox (and thus in Brave built on top of Firefox?) broke the bank’s process.
Although l still don’t know if the error message eminates from the bank or the browsers.
Using Brave Browser, given the suggested cookies and javascript adjustments mentioned (and updated, today, Apr. 5, 2022) in my reply 3 . . . Go to www.pioneerbanking.com:
https://www.pioneerbanking.com
Their web server promptly affects a redirect to www.pioneerny.com:
https://www.pioneerny.com
where you may click on the 
button, and get a LOGIN prompt:
For User ID, I entered “tempID” and clicked on the LOGIN button; and the result is a window served by onlinebanking.pioneerbanking.com:
Now suppose, using Brave Browser, given the suggested cookies and javascript adjustments mentioned in my reply 3 . . . you go directly to onlinebanking.pioneerbanking.com and hover the mouse arrow tip very near the PADLOCK icon at the left end of the URL address field:
You should get a small “View site information” piece, that indicates, if you right-click on the PADLOCK, you may view site information; and, DOING THAT, you may select (click on) “Cookies” and see cookies that are established:
One selection down from “Cookies” in the “View Site Settings” pop-down window that resulted from your right-click on the PADLOCK, is selection, “Site Settings” - choose that; resulting in a trip, in a Brave Browser New Window, to:
brave://settings/content/siteDetails?site=https%3A%2F%2Fonlinebanking.pioneerbanking.com
where you may view nearly every Brave Browser setting for the website, onlinebanking.pioneerbanking.com . . . save specific Cookies settings:
brave://settings/cookies
and, the Shields settings:
brave://settings/shields
such as:
Upgrade connections to HTTPS: ENABLED
Trackers & ads blocking: STANDARD
Fingerprinting blocking: STRICT
I do not have an account at Pioneer Bank, but Brave Browser otherwise navigated the various windows without restriction.

Its the VPN causing issues, I got the same error;
You don't have permission to access "http://onlinebanking.pioneerbanking.com/" on this server.
Reference #18.59b11702.1649233847.5473e0d
Disable the VPN for the banking site (and/or secureDNS)
Confirmed. Toggling vpn connected/disconnected toggles acess denied/allowed.
Thank you!
Don’t understand how this interacts with browser version (for Firefox anyway–older version has no problem), or if there is some setting somewhere that will enable the vpn protection (for banking, no less!) but this is a workaround l can live with.
