Phil and others, I'll add a round of aplause for Lloyds TSB. I've
been using internet banking with my account for two or three years now
and it could hardly be easier, and no way do I want to go back to
paying credit card bills at the bank etc.
Haven't as yet heard of the electrronic number pad having to be used,
but my take is it is simply a way of generating random numbers to
enter into fields. Just hope it gives me time to enter the info
without being timed out.
It would certainly be a backward step if we were to be granted less
security than other on-line users, and I like many now am doing more
on-on-line shopping.
Cheers,
From Ray

hi Terry and all others who have responded to this thread,
it seems like the main contenders so far are Barclays, natwest and
Nationwide....now I know all sites / services SHOULD be accessible but
I'm sure we all know that there is a big gap between what should be
(even if the law states it) and what actually is. I still need to do
some more playing around with our current bank site, IF but if
necessary we are prepared to switch provided we get a comparable if
not better service - the one thing I didn't like about Barclays when
we used them a few years ago was the way they made you pay for
services e.g. overdrafts etc - I'm not naive enough to think that just
because other banks don't charge up front they don't hide charges in
other costs but well that does mean we will need to look carefully at
what we get and who we go with.
Thanks though again Terry for your comments and the many others who
have done so.
From what you and others have said these card readers are simply
another form of security that some banks are bringing in, glad to hear
there are talking versions, will have to bear this in mind when making
decisions.
Thanks again,
Phil

Phil as someone who manages a company I find Barclays on-line very
good indeed.
All aspects of the site are accessible and its childs play to move
money from one account to another and all the other stuff you would
expect to be able to do.
The only downside is that Barclays have recently added some additional
seccurity to accessing the site and doing certain things. The security
revolves around a machine called pinsentry however the good news is
that if they know you are reading disabled they will issue a version
of the machine that speaks.
Once you get used to the process again it's simple enough.
Hope all that helps.

hi,
My wife and I have used the IF online bank for a good few years now
for all our transactions, savings, direct debits etc. Up until now
I've let her as the sighted one do all the necessaries re managing the
accounts and I have no complaints with that apart from the fact I
would really like to be more hands on with what's going on, look after
some of the stuff myself in particular as I am self-employed and so
would like to be able to deal with some more of the basic work of
moving money around myself.
so my questions is quite simple, what experience do people have of
different online banking services and in particular is there one bank
/ building society that people really rate in term of the
accessibility of their site with access technology (in my case Jaws
8). I will do some investigating of our current bank, IF, although
from the limited experience I've had before it seems quite confusing
to work with when you're trying to manage say a couple of current
accounts, savings, ISA's etc.
Anyway your comments / recommendations gratefully received,
with thanks,
Phil
