Hi Maureen.

Do you not have a talks enabled mobile phone? I realize that you are annoyed, but unfortunately crimes concerning online fraud are on the increase and banks must protect both themselves and their customers. 10 years ago, a problem like this would raise an outcry, but text messages are the norm today and many blind people can access them using a talking phone so there is no access issue.

All the best, Ibrahim.

Hi.

Is there anyone else out there that uses Abbey on-line banking?  I was
shocked to hear that they are intending introducing a security number which
they send to your mobile in order to make certtain changes or creating new
payments to your account. I e-mailed them explaining I was blind and that I would be unable to read a text sent to my mobile and was just told to use a
high street branch or phone when I needed to do anything.  Surely, I am
entitled to use the internet like a sighted customer?

Any advice or opinion would be gratefully received.

Maureen.
