Accessible banking

If you need support online, in branch or over the phone, we have a lot of tools that can help.

These tools include talking cash machines and Chip and Signature cards. And Relay UK – a confidential text-to-speech and speech-to-text services for those who struggle to use the phone. 

Get our website translated into British Sign Language

When Signly is turned on, you can select, tap or swipe any text on a page and a qualified translator will sign it to you.

If a page hasn't been translated yet, you can ask for a translation and one will be ready within a week. However, certain areas of the site can’t be translated. For example, the Internet Bank and any downloadable documents.
