Visual Accessibility Support

Support for customers who are blind or require visual accessibility support.

At PTSB, we believe everyone should feel confident and supported when managing their money.

If you are blind or require visual accessibility support, we offer a range of flexible ways to access and manage your banking — including digital banking, in-branch support, and accessible self-service options.

Our commitment to you

We are committed to making banking accessible and inclusive for everyone. We will:

  • Provide multiple ways to communicate with us
  • Support customers with banking independently wherever possible
  • Ensure communications are clear and easy to understand
  • Continuously improve our services to meet accessibility needs

Ways you can bank with us

You can manage your banking in a way that suits you. Whether you prefer to bank digitally, in person, or with additional support, we are here to help.

Mobile App and Online Banking

Many day-to-day transactions can be completed at a time and place that suits you using our digital services.

Our digital services are designed to be accessible and include:

  • Compatibility with screen readers
  • Keyboard navigation options
  • Clear text, colour contrast and layout
  • Text alternatives for images and content

You can also use live chat in the mobile app if you need help, making it easier to get support without using the phone.

Accessible ATM and Self-Service Machines

Our self-service machines include a range of features to support customers that require visual accessibility supports.

These can include:

  • Screen readers
  • Speech guidance through headphone connection
  • Accessible navigation to complete your transactions

You will need your own wired headphones to use these audio functionality features. These options allow you to carry out transactions independently and privately.

Visit a Branch

We have a range of in-branch services to support you if you would prefer assistance in person. You can:

  • Use self-service machines for everyday transactions located within each branch
  • Speak to a member of staff for additional support

Our staff will always aim to ensure communication is handled in a way that is comfortable and appropriate for you. We are committed to providing accessible information, assistance and services where you need it.
