The case for banking you can hear
Two million people, one bad experience
More than two million people in the UK live with sight loss. Today they use apps designed for eyes, translated after the fact by a screen reader. Menus read out of order, amounts split across elements, and confirmations that give no feedback at all.
Sound is faster than speech
A spoken sentence takes seconds. A chord takes a quarter of one. EchoBank gives each category its own sound signature, so a customer knows what a payment is before the words arrive — the audio equivalent of glanceability.
Scam Shield pays for itself
Authorised push payment fraud costs UK banks hundreds of millions a year, and reimbursement rules now put more of that on the bank. EchoBank explains the reasons a payment looks wrong, out loud, before the money moves — and makes the customer hold to confirm.
Built for one, used by everyone
Hands full, eyes on the road, a cracked screen, a bad connection. The audio-first path is the fastest path for every customer, which is why this is a product investment rather than a compliance line item.
