I think some banks are going down the usb key route, natwest are doing = the pin machine thing, which is a pest. -----Original Message----- From: access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf = Of Ankers, Dave (UK) Sent: 18 May 2007 11:15 To: access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [access-uk] Re: Chip and pin online banking. Hi all, I stated in an earlier email that I was investigating whether or not it = was possible to obtain a USB version of the security fob that provides the = code to my companies online network when working from home.

All that should be required then is when to code has to = be input, simply plug in the USB security fob and the code is read from it, = no vision required, simple. But will the banks have the foresight to = provide such a device to its VIP customers.... =3D20 Dave Hi colin and all: I am waiting for a call from natwest customer care, and will report back = =3D3D on their response. I will ask what provision for vi/blind people is to = be provided if the chip machines are inaccesible. I have also spoken to = =3D3D the bbc requesting that you and yours and in touch have a look at this = new technology. With a month until natwest start sending out these pin pads = =3D3D to their online customers, I feel investigation is fairly rgent. I do = not dislike the idea of the technology, but accessibility needs to be considered. -----Original Message----- From: access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf = =3D3D Of Colin Fowler Sent: 16 May 2007 05:59 To: access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [access-uk] Re: Chip and pin online banking. Hi Martin, The assurety given to you by your bank is complete nonsense. There = is=3D3D20 nothing in the DDA which defines the compliance of an individual product = =3D3D or=3D3D20 service. The DDA deals with the way in which that service is delivered. =3D3D For=3D3D20 any of the banks to introduce technology = without ensureing that you or I =3D3D are at no disadvantage compared with others for whom a similar reason would = =3D3D not=3D3D20 apply is the core of the matter. Has anyone asked what reasonable=3D3D20 adjustments the banks propose implementing? I would suggest that this is the most important fact that as yet, =3D3D appears to be missing in all the posts I have read. Indeed some useability = and=3D3D20 accessibility consultation should have been undertaken by the banks with = =3D3D minority user groups, and one would have hoped that the RNIB may have = =3D3D been=3D3D20 involved at this stage. Alas, after the disaster Royal Mail encountered =3D3D with the involvement of the RNIB with the first roll out of PIN pads, there = =3D3D is=3D3D20 every chance that the banks shyed away from makeing a similar mistake.
