Hi. It's perhaps worth noting that Lloyds TSB doesn't use a separate card 
reader. Instead it relies on you having a mobile phone.

If you're trying to adjust a standing order, for instance, the computer calls 
you. You then have to sit in front of your computer and tap a code into your 
phone based on what you're seeing on your screen. It refreshes approx every 
thirty seconds so you need to be in concentration mode but it's very 
accessible.

  Hi Kevin -

  That sounds good. When I was talking to my bank, I asked about transferring 
money out in to a savings account, and they said I needed a card reader to do 
this. Looking on the AA savings site, they seem to  be saying that all that is 
needed is to give them my bank's sort code and account number, and they will be 
able to debit my bank account for the amount I wish to transfer.

  Perhaps I got somebody at the bank that didn't quite understand, or know 
their stuff!

  On the subject of card readers, when I set up online banking, there wasn't an 
option to request a talking card reader. I checked the box requesting a card 
reader, hoping that I would then get the option of a standard or accessible 
one, but no such luck. I rang the bank about this, and they said because I had 
made the request online for a reader, I'd have to leave it a couple of days, 
and ring back to request a talking one. Wasn't too impressed with that, as I 
wish to make this transfer pretty quickly -

    Hi Andy.

    You won't need a card reader to use your AA account.  When you've logged 
into the AA account you'll be able to deposit funds into your account by direct 
debit from your current account or send funds from your AA account to your 
current account.  It's a really easy site to use and it's won awards in the 
past for it's simplicity and ease of use.

    Regards.

      Hi all - thanks for the info. The AA have a savings account that they 
link to existing bank accounts.

      Anybody know if I'd need one of these card reader machines in order to 
make deposits and withdrawals?

      The AA savings website does ask that applicants have a  current account 
that accept the direct debit system, so I'm wondering if it might be that I 
just tell the AA website how much I want to deposit or withdraw, and they do 
the rest via DD.

      Thanks for any clarification -

      Andy

        Hi Andy

        Contact your bank, they should have a talking version of the card 
reader. I am with Ulster Bank (Part of RBS) and they gave me a talking one 
which is fully accessible.

          Hi all -

          First time this has mattered to me, but I sede that some banks when 
doing online transactions, require the use of a card machine for a debit card, 
which when inserted puts up an 8 digit code on screen, that has to be typed in 
to a box on the webpage. On the face of it, not accessible, but I seem to 
recall that some listers on here had worked out, probably with their bank, a 
work around for this. I was looking at Tesco online bank, and it requires this 
method for banking, so would appreciate hearing of how users have got around 
this problem

          Thanks -

          Andy
