Michael,

I usually have some suggestions for solving problems, at least a starting
point for finding a solution. In this case I don't. Without knowing all
the applicable laws, the bank may argue the blind customer wrote the cheque
[using whatever means] so why do we now need to make it accessible? On the
other hand, as you mentioned, the signature and any bank stamps are added
later and are inaccessible.

The question may be: how are canceled paper cheques returned to blind
customers? Are they put into any kind of alternate format?? Maybe that
would fullfil the bank's obligations??

Interesting topic.

Cheers,
Glenda
