    Talking ATMs

    A talking ATM allows you to plug in your headphones and hear instructions to guide you through the transaction. You can also turn off the ATM screen if you want to protect your information.

    All ATMs located at Co-operative Bank branches are talking ATMs.

    To find a talking ATM near you:

    1. Visit the LINK website or download the LINK Cash Locator app. The app is accessible with VoiceOver and TalkBack screen readers
    2. Filter your search to show ATMs that provide audio assistance (you can also filter to show ATMs that are wheelchair accessible)
    3. Click ‘directions’ if you want directions to the ATM.

    Note that some ATMs may charge for cash withdrawals. You can filter to show machines which are free to use.
