[Ct-nfb] Banking

[Anne West]

As I said yesterday, John and I bank with TD Bank.  We have access to 18 months of on line statements, automated live 24/7 telephone service which includes automated listings of transactions, on line bill pay which is accessible and many other accessible features.  Log in is simple user name and password.  TD does not have braille bank statements as far as I know but we have discontinued paper and print only those statements needed for proof of income, etc.

The object is to access accounts privately with no sighted assistance.  I'd take my business to another bank and almost did when a new web site appeared one day.  I was in touch with the web designer who walked me through the new site and was very helpful.

  Betty and I have had full access to our bank for many years. It would be great if all financial institutions did the same. I suspect many of you have the same experience. We have an earplug and wire that plugs into the ATM and off we go. When our bank first started the new system I called them to point out a problem. They fixed it and called me back to ask if I would check in out. We also have great access to our accounts by phone. I suspect that smaller financial institutions balk at spending the money to adopt such systems. So what else is new. We'll keep working to get full access to all kinds technology out there.
