Online Services
Here at NAB we know that, for many blind and partially sighted people, everyday tasks such as shopping, paying bills, banking etc. can be difficult. If you are visually impaired and have struggled to read labels in shops, or had difficulty in finding a staff member to take you around a shop and help you etc., then perhaps our new Online service can help.
