Hi All,
Citibank has recently started offering braille versions of your monthly
credit card statement. To get this feature added to your account call the
customer service department at:
(800) 950-5114
I've just received my first statement from them in braille and the format
and such seems good. They use what I believe is technically called a stair
step table format to present the purchase and payment information. In this
format each column of the table is one line down and indented two cells to
the right of the previous line. Subsequent lines from the same column and
row (text that's more than a single braille line) appears at the same
margin setting. The format makes quick scanning quite easy, as each new
purchase starts at the left edge of the page. The statement is printed on
8 1/2" x 11" braille paper.
I'm not sure how they are producing their braille statements. This month
my print and braille statements arrived on the same day. Whether this will
be standard operating procedure or not I can't say. Anyway, if you have a
Citibank card you may find this of value.
