There is a distinction between accessibility and usability.
Accessibility
is protected under law, but usability is only a best practice
guideline. It
seems that your bank is happy to conform to law, but don't wish to go
to the
extent of best practice.
Cheers

Hi All
We often here about accessibility, but what does it really and truly
mean?
If one is able to access a web site, does that mean there is no
access
problem, or does it depend on how easy it is to access the web site.
If someone can use an iPhone does that mean there is no access
problems,
even if the access is not so easy.
My bank offers its customers (the ones that use Braille)
a choice grade 1 or grade 2 Braille.
but if say customers wanted their Braille statements Braille on one
side
of brailed page, this is not an option for choice.
Surely given fact grade 1 or grade 2 Braille is a choice,
it should not be difficult to program software
to allow for a choice, braile on both sides of page,
on just one side.
