Many ATMs do have Braille numbers or the key pads are like a number key. However, at stores more and more of the items used to pay are TOUCH pads and in no way accessible. In rehab, if someone goes to the same store all the time and wants to use their ATM card to pay as ATM, some rehab teachers make a card board overlay that makes it like a number keypad. So for ATMS in stores it is the touch pad that can take away independence.
