I can't speak for all UK banks, but Allied Irish Bank (GB)
insist on having you sign what they call an "Indemnity",
which essentially, while allowing you to use a signature
stamp, means that if someone else other than the authorised
user uses it, they are not liable in any way.
Most banks must have some kind of procedure, if only to
allow large cheque issuers such as local authorities,
insurance companies and so on to issue thousands of
pre-printed, signed cheques.

Hi everyone.
I wonder if somone could kindly assist me with the following
question from a
friend based in India.
He says:
"I am part of a group who is trying to ensure equal access
to banks for
blind people in India. One problem we face is the
inconsistancy of a
signature. One way around this is to use a stamp. I believe
this is
permitted under UK law. Is this correct? I ask since the
banks here
are worried about some one being able to copy the signature
stamp and
defrauding them and or the customer."
So does UK law permit the use of stamp based signatures.
I've only been blind all my life and frankly don't have a
clue.
Any help/comments appreciated.
Terry Cllasper.
