Everyone should be able to take part in society without barriers.
That’s why we aim to be an inclusive and accessible bank. We want to be there for the moments that matter.
We're working to improve how accessible our website and services are for everyone. This includes our products, managing your account or talking about what we do.
You matter to us, and we embrace the diversity that all people bring.
Accessing our website
We aim to make our website work for everyone. This includes making sure:
- navigation works in a consistent way, to help you move around our websites
- we use a standard web font to help make text easy to read
- any images include a description, so that you can understand what it means
- colour isn’t used as the only way to show information
- we use strong colour contrasts to make sure text and elements are clear
- links do what they say, so that they make sense when read out
- you can use a screen reader when using our website
- buttons and links are the right size for everyone to be able to use.
Testing our website
We also test our website with people who have disabilities. We do this through our partnership with the Digital Accessibility Centre (DAC). If you see anything that doesn’t work, please let us know.

Tell us once
We all need help sometimes. If something’s affecting how you manage your accounts, we may be able to help.
With tell us once, you can let an adviser know if you need support. They can then add a note to your account so you don't have to tell us again.
To tell us about any support you need, either call us, visit a branch, or use Chat when you’re logged onto Online or Mobile banking. Just type ‘tell us once’ into the Chat conversation.
