Hi list: Regarding the new chip and pin machines used in conjunction with online banking. For natwest customers, I have spoken to their online banking = dept and explained the problems as regards totally blind people and use of = the new equipment as stated in recent articles. I am awaiting a response as = to how blind people are to use the new system. It seems natwest are making this compulsary on their online banking system. I for one, am very = worreid indeed about the new technology, as while I have been assured it is DDA compliant, I am not so sure. To be compliant, wouldn't the pin pad = machine have to input the code into the edit field on the website, or the = machine speak the code out loud? Or can they get away with large print numbers? = If large print is enough to pass DDA compliance, totally blind people are disadvantaged significantly. Hope to hear from you soon. From Martin.
