Why is Braille on ATMs?

As many stand-up comics have observed over the years, one of the least explained developments in the history of banking is the addition of Braille at ATMs. Assuming that the driver of the car was the same person performing a banking transaction, it is necessary to ask why banks would not be annoyed by the insertion of Braill's inscriptions on such a machine in the first place. If the seen driver acts as an intermediary for a blind passenger, Braillo would still not be necessary. One of the reasons is concerns about customer personal data protection. If the automatic machine was programmed to the market to "talk" electronically with visually disturbed customers, passers -by could hear private information, such as personal identification numbers, account balances and account numbers. The actual number, how many times the visually impaired customer can actually go on an ATM to make M.ay to be low, but banks cannot be too careful in terms of protection of private information. According to theseThe akons are required by public institutions to be the most, not all their services accessible by visual, hearing and physically handicapped.

In the case of ATMs, Braill's inscriptions can be considered as all except for excess, but meets a letter from Americans with a disability law. Blind customers would have the ability to read the numbers on machines, although few ATMs actually provide great help. For example, information about the ATM monitor cannot read a blind customer without external help.

There is any possibility that the new generation of automatic banking machines will actually be integrating accommodation for the visually impaired, but for the time being the best bank can provide Braill's inscriptions at all of its ATMs, whether the visually disabled customer decides to use. Accommodation created to satisfy federal regulations does not necessarily require practical, usee available. Banks that do not provide such modifications to customers with disabilities may find themselves vulnerable to litigation and fines, so the safest solution is to provide Braill at ATMs for driving.
