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.
