Why Be My Eyes for Banking?

Banking is built on visual information: verification codes, letters, ATMs and more. If a customer can’t see them, they ask someone else for help – normal security circumvented.

The behavior

With no accessible alternative, your blind and low-vision customers rely on outside help to manage their money.

The exposure

Card numbers, account details and one-time passcodes shared with others put your customers at risk and by extension, your bank.

The fix

Be My Eyes provides you with the tools needed to assist your blind and low-vision customers at the point of need. All delivered in a secure and trusted way.

What We Offer

Products and Services That Make an Impact in Banking

Service Directory

List your bank in the Be My Eyes Directory and give blind and low-vision customers a direct line to your own support team. Your phone number, hours and languages sit in one place, so they can reach you in a tap instead of searching online for the right number.

Learn More

Service Stream

Customers call your usual support line. When your agent thinks seeing the issue would resolve it faster, they send a secure link in one tap and the call becomes a live video session in the customer’s browser. It shortens calls and cuts back-and-forth, and works as a widget in your existing CX platform, with no new number or app required.

Learn More

Service Connect

Customers connect with your bank directly from the Be My Eyes app, instantly starting a one-way video, two-way audio call. Your agents can then help with statements, cards, ATM screens and more, backed by call analytics.
