This is very worrying to hear and the fact Loyds involve your mobile makes it 
less 
Telephone banking is the simple option at the moment, but who knows in the 
future.
Hazelattractive to me, or is this optional?

  Hi Hazel,

  As has already been said, HSBC has a reasonably accessible online banking 
facility, but there is one thing to be wary of.  HSBC is one of the banks that 
promotes some free security software called Rapport.  It's meant to ensure that 
there is no malicious software on your system that is trying to "see" what is 
on the web pages you visit and reading your keyboard keystrokes, which sounds 
like a great idea for security, but unfortunately it can't tell the difference 
between a screen reader and malicious software.  If you were to download 
Rapport, you would end up with no access to the online banking pages and it's 
impossible to remove without sighted help. 

  Regards,

  Bim

  Thanks Andy for that.
  It makes m e feel better knowing other V I people can manage this, and when 
we get a little  more  used to the Jaws system I now feel we will take this 
forward.

    Hazel - Yes, lots of us bank this way, and accessible banking seems to be 
available with all the major banks. I've no experience with your particular 
bank, but if you go to their website, and follow the sign up process, it will 
probably be strait forward. You'll need a card reader to make payments to 
payees, if you want to do that, but these too are accessible now, and you'll 
get the chance to request one via the signing up process. If you have any 
questions, you'll probably find on online phone number to call.

    Things like this can seem daunting before we try, but truly, as long as 
you're ok with basic website navigation, I'm sure you'll be fine.

    Good luck -

    Andy

      Has anyone on the list been brave enough to use internet banking?
      We bank with H S B C but feel reluctant to use the service, how screen 
reader friendly are these sites?
      Are there capture text to contend with?
      and finally we have no sighted help in house..
      We use Jaws 11 
      Any opinions welcome.
      Hazel
