Bank Of America Debuts Talking ATMs
Bank of America has reconfirmed its commitment to the visually impaired community by announcing plans to install more than 7,000 Talking ATMs coast to coast. More than 3,000 talking ATMs are planned by the end of 2002, and the rollout is expected to be complete by the end of 2005.
Bill Raymond, Manager, ATM Channel Strategies & Development at Bank of America, said, “Talking ATMs along with compliant web pages, specialized statements and other initiatives further demonstrate our commitment to serving our customers and how we are embracing ingenuity to make their lives easier.”
Talking ATMs provide audible instructions to people who cannot view information on an ATM screen. The ATMs have audio jacks that deliver spoken instructions through standard headsets to protect the security of users who are blind or have low-vision.
