[Blind-rollers] New Lists on nfbnet.org

Hi, Deb:

My husband does internet banking. I use the telephone to check balances and
transfer funds or make payments. I personally think that your bank has no
legal leg to stand on and that you should write to the bank president and
call the NFB national office for other suggestions. She is apparently not
aware that it's ilegal to have an inaccessible website. Good luck!

I had a problem that I was wondering if anyone has come across bank   
institutions websites.  I move to PA and when I went into the  bank to ask
then 
how I could access their website...they said they have no  blind access.
She 
suggested I get someone to manage  my "affairs".  I told her I wanted to 
remain independent and were  there any programs (I have jaws which is very 
popular program used and  introduced to me by Blind Assoc.).  She got upset 
when I said that surely  these programs creating the programs for the banks 
would make a reading function  for those visually impaired if not compatible

with our programs....she said  perhaps we may not be able to meet your needs

and you should find another  bank.  
Anyone want to comment on that one.  I said "you did not just say  because 
I came into here with a problem and it asked for internet access because  I 
am visually impaired, you are saying you might not cancel my account?   She 
said let me check with my superiors.  I said "yes, I think you might  want 
to check with them because I believe that would be very discriminating let  
alone there would be a public outrage if your customers found out you did 
this. 
So, gang, help me....how do you reconcile your bank accounts and check your 
 account routinely?  deb
