Why do people keep asking this question without first searching the archive?
The answer is simple: The Americans With Disabilities Act, signed into law by President George H.W. Bush in 1990, requires braille. There is no exemption for drive-up ATMs.

For one every ATM has to have braille where it is, is irrelevant plus it costs less for the bank that owns the ATM if they just buy a bunch of braille keys and put them in all their machines instead of ordering some buttons that have braille and some that have no braille and putting those in the drive through ATMs.

So that blind drivers can work the machine. What I can't figure out is in order to work the machine you have to follow the instructions on the screen. How do blind drivers see the screen to know which button to push and when to push it??

Because the blind person may be in the back seat, using the ATM from there.
After all, he's blind. He's obviously not driving. That's why they have seeing-eye dogs!

this question has been asked previously, inspite of the undeniable fact that it is so as that blind people can use them additionally. the driving force can pull up so as that the spectacular fringe of the vehicle is nearest the ATM and the blind passenger can attain the ATM. ok?

I've often wondered the same thing. I would imagine it's the law. Hopefully, someone is driving the person who is blind.

Sometimes people walk up to them--I do once in a while. There's also a headphone jack so the person can hear the instructions.

So that they, and not the person who is reading them the screen, can key in their pin number.
