Talking ATMs
We've also introduced Talking ATMs (TATMs). Anyone can use this functionality, and it's designed to help visually impaired customers use ATMs safely and securely. You can use TATMs from the following brands:
- Royal Bank
- NatWest
- Coutts
- Ulster North
- Ulster South
How do Talking ATMs work?
You need to have a set of ear phones which you plug into the ATM. You will then hear instructions of how to use the machine and what to do to get started. You need to activate the audio functionality by pressing the number 5 on the keypad before inserting your card. The machine will voice out what you need to do and the options to press on the ATM keypad to make your choices. The screen will go blank to provide you with privacy so none of your details are visible.
