Hi Richard
To clarify.
The bank asked RNIB to-do the Braille.
So the point is RNIB says no and the reasons don't seem
clear to me.
Surely if the bank asks an organisation to doa braille
job, and if the customer is happy then what's the
problem?
Regards, Derek

Hello Alison, I'm sure you must be right that the problem is not that
of
RNIB but of the bank, as the service provider.
I certainly didn't want to suggest that there was any lack of good
will on
the part of RNIB - although there may well be a lack of common sense
and
lack of knowledge in banks!

Hello Richard
I think in this instance the obligation is on the bank to provide the
service, rather than RNIB. If we could, we would, as a third party
provider.
In fairness to HSBC they have provided an alternative through another
provider, but used card rather than plastic. They are looking at
alternatives and have been in touch with us to find out how we
produced the
plastic cards, so the good will is definitely there.

All, This is a really difficult and interesting question, and one to
which I
don't have a definite answer; you'd need a specialist lawyer for an
opinion, I think.
On the one hand, I can totally understand why card providers would
require
merchants to follow particular procedures to guard against insecure
methods
of handling card details, but on the other there is the requirement
for
service providers to make the much talked about "reasonable
adjustments" to
ensure that their services are accessible to disabled people.
My uninformed guess is that, with a bit of good will and common sense,
there's a solution which would not affect adversely the interests of
either
party.
Unfortunately, it's my experience that common sense may be in short
supply
in these situations!

Thanks George, you're absolutely right. PCI is extremely strict, as
we've
learnt. I apologise that I didn't give Derek more detail at the time.

Derek, Clive and all,
On reflection, I can understand RNIB's predicament.
RNIB, for obvious reasons, accept cards for purchases. The security
rules
are therefore extremely strict, and I am aware that they have had
quite a
struggle in this regard.
In general terms, our own bank refers to the, "Payment Card Industry
(PCI)
Data Security Standard (DSS) Programme".
I suggest anyone who wishes to know more takes a look at:
https://www.pcisecuritystandards.org/merchants/
There is a specific link to individual card processor such as Visa and
MasterCard here:

Hi Derek,
I'm dismayed by the number of times services go downhill in terms of V
I
accessibility because the supplier has changed. That indicates a fault
in
their commissioning and procurement systems that takes for granted
access
issues and doesn't state them as a mandatory requirement in new
contracts
for old services. Another example was the one where someone, possibly
on
this list, reported their delight at finding a talking ATM at their
local
supermarket, then their dismay when the ATM was replaced by a silent
one,
because they'd gone to a different provider and not asked. Though I
don't
understand why the RNIB are declining to do this when other providers
are
willing, the more service providers get the message to their
contractors
that if it doesn't work for our disabled customers, it's not fit for
our
purpose, the better it will be for all of us.
Best,
Clive

Hi Clive
yes and they said:
"Hello Derek
To clarify, RNIB advised HSBC that we were unable to produce the cards
due
to additional security arrangements we put in place.
HSBC are now working with another provider"
I have now asked RNIB what are the
additional security arrangements they put in place.
What seems strange is that if another organisation is able to help
the
bank why not RNIB?

Hello George and Derek,
I must admit it seemed a bit odd to me to, unless they would contend
that
the Braille would need to be added on the card with additional human
input -
in other words that A N Other would have to know your bank details in
order
to reproduce them in dots. So, like you George, I'd be interested not
only
in the regulations themselves, but the specific reasoning behind the
refusal
'die tp secirotu reasons".
Derek, have you followed up by asking the RNIB: "Precisely what
security
reasons, and which regulations are we talking about here"?
Best,
Clive

I have to wonder, since this information is already in print on the
card.
I could understand if they had something like a PIN number, but that
does
not appear to be the case.
Is it at all possible to get a copy of these regulations from
anywhere?

They are unable to provide a plastic card that has in Braille the
following:
card number
security number
Valid from date
and expire date
The point is they were able to do it for past
30+ years.
So what has changed now?

Here is what RNIB says
"We are unable to do this now for security reasons. We stopped
producing
them to meet new compliance requirements around security."
