So blind people can use them.
The reason there is Braille lettering on drive up ATM machines is so that blind people can take out money so that they wont feel left out.
There are a number of reasons, 1.its the law called equal access to public services for the handicap. 2. is because even the drive up ATM's can be accessed by a blind person who walks up to the machine. 3.the ATM can also be accessed by a blind person who is in the driverside rear seat of a vehicle that gets driven to the ATM machine. 4. It is just more cost effective for the ATM manufacturer to use one type of keypad on the ATM machines rather than paying to have two different keypads.. So in view of these reasons having braille on a drive up ATM does not seem to be a dumb idea. However there are several places that Braille is used that is absolutely insane and outright stupid because under no circumstances would blind person ever be using it. A few examples are 1. braille being used on aviation flight equipment and controls in the cockpit of a 747 passenger jet. 2. braille being used on the keypads and controls in commercial cranes and heavy equipment. 3. braille being used on the keypads and controls of military rocket launchers. 4. braille being used on the keypads and controls of commercial cargo ships. 5. braille being used on the keypads and firing controls of the M1A1 Abrams tank. 6. braille being used on the keypads and reactor controls of nuclear power plants.
Drive-through banks include directions in braille to ensure accessibility for visually impaired customers who may be using the service. This feature allows them to navigate the banking process independently and safely, promoting inclusivity. Providing braille signage demonstrates a commitment to accommodating all customers, regardless of their abilities.
This might help. I saw a driver pull up to an ATM machine in front of my car and the passenger window rolled down behind the driver. My window was down and I heard the man ask the driver to pull up so he could have better access to the beryl.
If your ATM card is blocked, call up customer care and explain the situation. They will reset the PIN number and send you a new PIN using which you can start using your ATM card. If your ATM card is stolen and you want to block it, call up customer care and explain them that your ATM card is stolen and they will block it for you.

Because most keyboards have Braille on the keys it would be more expensive to make special ones without it

ATM machines with Braille are standard, these are located at all locations including drive-through, and also you blind people can get there money out to just because there blind doesn't mean they can't have a bank account
Blind people may not drive, but people still take them places. Braille on drive-through ATMs (specifically bank ATMs) are most likely in place so that people who are blind don't have to give out their personal bank card information, but rather, can get the money out of the ATM on their own. Besides that, I'm sure it feels nice to feel that you can get your own money out of your bank account and not have to rely on someone to do everything for you. And it's easier for the banks just to make one style of machine. Sighted people can easily use the keypads, even though they have Braille on them.

Braille is names after its inventor, Louis Braille.
It's cheaper to manufacture one kind of ATM that can be used in all situations than it is to manufacture a special one without braille for drive-through ATMs, and there is no downside to doing so (other than apparently making some people scratch their heads).ANSWERATMs are manufactured for placement in many kinds of locations, some of which are accessed by visually impaired people: the lobbies of office buildings, for example. Because ATM manufacturers cannot predict with enough accuracy how many machines will need Braille pads and how many will not need them, they find that it is cost-effective to manufacture all of the machines with Braille pads. That procedure avoids problems of inventory, storage, retrieval, and shipment as well.AnswerFederal regulations require it, even if blind people cannot clearly see in order to drive. There are brochures that are out there for them to use and memorize in order to go through with the process smoothly. But, the issue with that is, is that not every ATM is the same; so they must make sure that they are using the right brochure with the right ATM. People say that the person that drove the blind person there in the first place can help out, but that isn't so because what if that driver is a cab driver. I'm sure that the blind person wouldn't want a stranger to know all of their personal information.Answer from a legally blind person:First off - there are excellent business that have ATM machines on both the driver's side AND the passenger side. It's true that not many business do that bus some do. So that is another reason for the braille to be on them.How many of you have plugged in an ear phone to see what would happen?While I am legally blind (20/400) - I do have enough sight to read the ATM but I tried it and discovered that the voice directions were very clear and specific on how to proceed in using the ATM. I, also, discovered that when the earphone gets plugged in - it disables the touch screen which I like because that way it's a security protected so no else can mess with it while you're using it. So this is another reason why there is braille on the ATM's.I, also know of some one who actually went through an ATM the 'wrong way' so the legally blind or blind passenger could use the ATM so that is why there shouldn't be any 'one way' entries for ATM for places that do NOT have one on both sides. Just because theey are blind - doesn't mean they can't use the atm's from a vehicle and take advantage of the braille when necessary.Braille is the language using which bank ATM machines can communicate with blind individuals. Since banks open accounts even for blind individuals and they too would like to make transactions like money withdrawal or deposit, Braille in the ATM machine helps them transact by themselves without having to depend on any other person who can see and punch in the details for them.
Louis Braille created Braille, a development of a military system for reading by touch, in the dark.
Using a braille chart, you can match up the braille with their corresponding letters to find out what they mean. Here is a braille chart: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Braille
The Automatic Teller Machine, could not exist without science and technology. From the keypad, to the money counting machinery, the internet link to the bank and your account, all had to come together.Stone age people would not be able to make one, or understand what it is.Only one question remains.Why have the keypads on 'drive in' ATM's got braille on them?scary!
