Accessibility at Leumi
Accessibility Statement
At Leumi, we believe it's essential to provide equitable service to all customers and to improve the service we provide to customers with disabilities.
We therefore strive to offer customers with disabilities full accessibility to the Bank’s various locations and services, whether at our branches or our direct and digital channels, such as online services and self-service stations.
These adaptations have been made in compliance with, and even surpass, the requirements of accessibility legislation, and were accomplished with the close cooperation of accessibility consultants and professionals in order to give our customers accessible service and an optimal user experience.
For your convenience, we have assembled the existing adaptations at Bank Leumi in accordance with the nature of the impairment:
“Talking” ATMs - Convert text to speech. More information >>
