Hearing support

We have a number of ways to help you.

In branch

All our branches have induction loops fitted in the secure cash areas such as counters and cash machines:

  • They can be used at any counter position or in a private interview room
  • They can be used with the 'T' setting on hearing aids to enhance sound 

By phone

  • BT TextDirect - type 18001 before the telephone number you wish to contact. A RNID (Royal National Institute for Deaf People) operator will join the line to convey the message
  • Sign Video - please see below for more information

SignVideo

Using SignVideo, you can communicate with a member of our team via a sign language interpreter.
