Manufactured for the convenience of blind customers, the updated ATM now makes it possible for individuals to hear all options in addition to seeing them.

Installed in Oslo's Nordea bank, the machine is manufactured by Norwegian Association of the Blind and Partially Sighted. Aftenposten quotes official Kristin Ruud, from the organization as saying, "All messages from cash machines used to come via the screen. This has made it impossible for the blind to use the machines."

"One has had to take out money during the bank's opening hours or ask a friend for help," she said adding that the visually impaired person must carry earphones to utilize the machine.

"We have chosen to use earphones so that information such as your bank balance are not broadcast to those behind you in line," she told Aftenposten.
