Dear Friends, Accessible ATMs in India were introduced with the launch of Truly Talking ATM's in 2012 by a public-sector bank Union Bank of India. Today, six years down the line we are pleased to share that more than 25 banks both public and private sector have submitted data of accessible ATM's with us. XRCVC is working on accessible ATM's and inclusive banking since 2008 at various levels. With our efforts and through Indian Banks’ Association (IBA) support we are in receipt of large number of accessible ATM locations as high as 55,000+.
Today is a special day for the Talking ATM India website (https://talkingatmindia.org<https://prolinks.rediffmailpro.com/cgi-bin/prored.cgi?red=https%3A%2F%2Ftalkingatmindia%2Eorg&isImage=0&BlockImage=0&rediffng=0>) which went live on 15 February 2014. The website was launched during the Access India Convention at New Delhi in 2014. We thank both Mr. Prashant Naik and Saidarshan Bhagat for their pioneering work for this ATM locator. We are glad to announce that since 2017 this website is owned and run by XRCVC. The founders Prashant Naik and Saidarshan Bhagat of the accessible ATM locator website service are actively associated with the website and continuing their voluntary service with us. The locator mobile app is not in our ownership. On this anniversary day of https://talkingatmindia.org<https://prolinks.rediffmailpro.com/cgi-bin/prored.cgi?red=https%3A%2F%2Ftalkingatmindia%2Eorg&isImage=0&BlockImage=0&rediffng=0> we have uploaded latest locations data from very few banks. This is a fresh 12000+ locations database on the site. We will be uploading databases phase wise as well as other new features. ATM locations data is directly shared by the banks to IBA during the period October-December 2017. We have uploaded few banks data which we found having the talking ATM transaction workflow in compliance to IBA Standard on talking ATM. New developments are happening on the ATM channel front such as touch screen ATM's, ATM Bank, etc. As before, XRCVC is engaged in providing accessibility inputs and user tests to banks and vendors. With this positive news and sharing of such a large number of talking ATM's deployments in our country we hope now many visually impaired friends will use the facility regularly. We are happy to run accessible Talking ATM locator website service https://talkingatmindia.org<https://prolinks.rediffmailpro.com/cgi-bin/prored.cgi?red=https%3A%2F%2Ftalkingatmindia%2Eorg%2F&isImage=0&BlockImage=0&rediffng=0> Kindly reply to [email protected] for your comments and feedback.
