Alpha Bridge Trust is committed to making our products and services accessible to meet the banking and financial services needs of all our customers.

Some of the services we provide, free of charge, include:

  • Guideline/raised-line checks: We offer our customers guideline/raised-line checks, which are larger (8 1/8" by 3") with embossed guidelines that are easy to feel. Raised-line checks are available in wallet or duplicate style; you can order them like any other checks for your account.
  • Information reformatting: We can provide Alpha Bridge Trust documents, including monthly statements, in alternative formats such as large print, Braille, audio, or data CD. Go to your local branch or call a telephone banker at +1 985 318 0349 to learn more about our information-reformatting services.
  • Telecommunications Relay Service: We accept all telecommunication relay service calls, including video relay services (VRS).
  • Reader services: Our bankers will read and explain materials to customers who want help opening products/services or conducting financial transactions. Call or stop by your local branch.
  • Sign language interpreters/written notes: We can exchange notes in our branches or, for more complex or lengthy discussions, we can arrange an appointment with a qualified sign language interpreter at your local branch.
  • Talking Automatic Teller Machines (ATMs): All Alpha Bridge Trust ATMs are speech enabled. Customers can use standard headphones (⅛-inch jack) to hear the screen displayed information. To request headphones call +1 985 318 0349, choose option 0 to speak to a representative. To find a Alpha Bridge Trust ATM, use our convenient ATM/branch locator.

Web and mobile accessibility

We strive to meet online usability and design requirements recommended by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) in its Web Content Accessibility Guidelines 2.0 Level AA, as well as requirements under the Twenty-First Century Communications and Video Accessibility Act of 2010. We use design standards that help customers identify, interpret, understand and interact with information presented on our websites and mobile apps.

Here are some helpful tips for using our sites and apps:

  • Account numbers: In most instances, you won’t get your complete account number online. For security reasons, we’ll only reveal a few digits (typically the last 3 or 4) of your account number. The remaining digits are represented by a series of periods or the letter X.
  • Dollar amounts: When you include dollar amounts, you may get one input field or two fields separated by a decimal point. In some cases, you’ll find an example adjacent to the input field(s) to help you understand how to format your amount.
  • Personalizing accounts: You can give your accounts nicknames if you like. Some people like to do that to recognize them more easily. Choose Profile & Settings from the main navigation menu and then choose “Nickname accounts.”
