Improved cashpoint accessibility with new Talking ATMs
We are pleased to announce the introduction of Talking ATMs to enable blind and partially sighted customers to use our cash machines independently.
Our Talking ATMs will allow customers to operate transactions through a headset which is plugged into an audio jack point on the ATM.
The ATM will deliver private, spoken instructions and will prompt the user at each stage of their transaction.
The available transactions are withdrawals, balance enquires and PIN services.
The addition of new high-contrast screens will further help those customers who are partially sighted.
How our Talking ATMs work
- Start by inserting the headset into the audio jack next to the card entry point. Instructions on how to use our ATMs will play automatically.
- To begin your transaction at any time, press the ‘5’ key before entering your card, which is located using the raised dot on the keypad. The high-contrast screen will be activated.
- The numbered keypads are identical to a standard touch-tone telephone keypad.
- The far right side of the keypad contains a column of important keys that, from top to bottom, are:
- Cancel – with the universal tactile shape ‘X’
- Clear – with the universal tactile shape‘I’
- Enter – with the universal tactile shape ‘O’
This service is not just for Co-operative banking customers.
