Accessibility

Disability, wellbeing and challenging times

Supporting your needs, whatever your situation

We’re here to help

Do you need help with your banking?

We have lots of products and services, along with other useful resources, to support you. 

Perhaps you need us to change how we communicate with you. For example, you might need

  • Items to help you, such as documents in Braille or hearing loops
  • Us to be a bit more patient when we speak to you by phone or in a branch
  • Us to remember that your mood can vary, and your reactions might be affected

Let us know your individual needs so we can talk about how to make banking easier for you.

You can find our contact options on this page.
