Accessibility

We want all members to have a great experience with us. Our friendly team ensure that we accommodate all accessibility needs and adapt our support.

How can our branches help?

Hard of Hearing

We can adjust to your needs so please let us know if we can do anything to make your visit easier for you. We are able to use BT's Relay UK system to aid customers who are hard of hearing (see below).

Wheelchair Access

All branches are at floor level for easy entry. We're happy to offer additional support during your visit.

Carers

Some customers have carers who support them during their visit. Our branch teams can offer support to both carers and members.

Power of Attorney

We can help you arrange a Power of Attorney so you can give permission for someone else to act on your behalf.

Visual Impairments

We offer all our letters in modified large print, if you'd like this, please get in touch. Assistance dogs are welcome in our branches.

Longer Appointments

If you believe you need a longer appointment, please let us know and we will accommodate.

Video Appointments

We can offer any appointment as a video call, so you can meet with us from the comfort of your home.

3rd Party Withdrawal

If you need someone to withdraw money on your behalf, please get in touch and we'll talk you through the process.
