Nationwide online couldn’t be better.
You can rename accounts so that its very clear which is which, and there two
interfaces, the full on web access which gives multiple ways fo doing most
things, quick templates of combo boxes etc or more explanatory forms which do
tend to be layed out in tables but work fine. Or alternatively you can log in
through the mobile interface which is mainly intended for access from phones
and other mobile devices but is text only and works really well with
screenreaders although the functionality is a bit limited, you can transfer
money around and make payments, but not add new people or organisations to pay,
or delete old ones.

Subject: [access-uk] Accessible online banking
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
