[NABS-L] Credit Cards

Thu Feb 22 05:46:26 UTC 2018

Hi, in addition to what everyone has said, there is phone banking and mobile applications for most banks are accessible. You can have the details of every transaction and you can pay right from your iPhone or android or even your computer.

The National Federation of the Blind knows that blindness is not the characteristic that defines you or your future. Every day we raise the expectations of blind people, because low expectations create obstacles between blind people and our dreams. You can live the life you want; blindness is not what holds you back.

For those banks, use a Braille plastic tape labeling slate to put a plastic tape two to three letter label on your card.  Then, you can take a normal business card, and use a Braille plastic tape slate to put all the card information on the Business card.  Note that if you use a Braille writer to label the business card with the credit card information, the numbers will fade with time.    If you use a Braille writer on your credit card, you might damage the credit card.
