Abstract
Improved contactless and audio accessibility at self-service terminals (SST) is provided for visually impaired and dexterity-limited customers. Raised tactile features, light patterns, and/or haptic feedback help customer locate and interact with contactless readers at the SSTs during self-service transactions. Contactless tokens are used as distance-based input devices with enhanced audio control features. These improvements make SSTs more accessible to users with various disabilities while maintaining the convenience benefits of contactless technology.
