Thankfully the bank I deal with in Australia - The Commonwealth - have a very accessible App I can use. Failing that - if I’m out shopping etc - then I can use my iPhone with Apple Pay and my Bank at terminals so no more worrying about touch screens and so on. I really must check to see how accessible Samsung Pay is as the Samsung S10 is my phone of choice.
