Talking cash machines
All of our cash machines have voice assistance. And can be used with a headset or headphones – they’ll need to be corded with a 3.5mm jack.
If you can’t use a cash machine, our branch colleagues can help you make a withdrawal from the counter.
Getting in and out
All our branches have a power-assisted or automated entrance door. Almost all also have level access or wheelchair ramps.
You can check what facilities your nearest branch has, using our branch finder.
Helping hand units
We have a variety of units to help, including:
- magnifiers
- pen grips
- cheque templates
- bank note gauges
- clipboards and lap-pads.
Induction loops
Induction loops improve sound quality if you have a hearing aid with a T setting. All our branches have at least one:
- counter with an induction loop
- portable induction loop to use in other parts of the branch.
Private meeting rooms
We can arrange for you to talk to a member of your branch team in a private room. It’s a good idea to call ahead, so we can make sure there’s one available.
Speak Easy cards
We offer a service called ‘Speak Easy’ in all our branches – a custom-made set of printed cards with phrases and pictures to support customers with communication difficulties.
You can also download the set of cards as a PDF to use on your mobile device when visiting a branch.
Interpreters
We can provide:
- British Sign Language interpreters
- Lip-speakers
- Speech-to-text reporters
- Deafblind interpreters.
Contact your branch to arrange an interpreter before you visit.
Using SignVideo in branch
Connect to a British Sign Language (BSL) interpreter through SignVideo. They will interpret your conversation with our branch staff. All interpreters are qualified and registered (NRCPD/SASLI).
To use this service, you will need to bring your own video enabled device.
Available whenever your branch is open.
