Hello Hazel, In my earlier note, I used the term "contact phone number". On the Lloyds TSB site you set up which phone number you want contact from. You can choose to use a land-line or a mobile.

Hazelattractive to me, or is this optional? ----- Original Message ----- From: Egan, Bim <mailto:Bim.Egan@xxxxxxxxxxx> To: access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Thursday, March 03, 2011 3:43 PM Subject: [access-uk] Re: internet banking 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.

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.

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 ----- Original Message ----- From: Hazel <mailto:darvell1181@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> & Kim Darvell To: access u k <mailto:access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Thursday, March 03, 2011 1:04 PM Subject: [access-uk] internet banking 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.
