Hello Rahul, Congratulations to you for the achievement. Please also make sure that all branches provide these facilities. A friend of mine in Kolkata has been refused ATM card due to his blindness. Is there any number where he can contact for the facility?
Many branch managers of different banks in West Bengal still deny ATM cards and cheque facilities to blind customers. Is it possible to start a common helpline for all such cases?

Dear List, As we celebrate Disability Pride Month, I extend greetings to one and all. We are thrilled to share some exciting news with you about the strides being made in the area of inclusive and accessible banking. In the past, we have highlighted several initiatives at Union Bank that have empowered our visually impaired workforce and customers at large. These initiatives are creating a positive ripple effect across the banking industry. It's a privilege for us to be at the forefront of inclusive banking and to witness the industry-wide impact of our work. Here are some recent developments that fill us with immense joy and pride: 1. Accessible Debit Card: Two years ago, Union Bank of India launched the accessible debit card, Union Sparsh, which received an overwhelmingly positive response from the community. Inspired by this innovation, Punjab National Bank (PNB) has now designed their own accessible card offering, Antar Drishti. This card features a notch and the letters PNB in Braille, making it easier for visually impaired individuals to use. 2. Standard Operating Procedures (SOP) for JAWS: On May 29, 2024, we informed you about the issuance of SOPs for providing JAWS software to visually impaired staff members at Union Bank of India. We are delighted to share that in June 2024, PNB unveiled a similar SOP for its employees. This initiative will empower thousands of PNB employees, fostering an inclusive work environment. 3. Union Bank of India's Integrated Annual Report 2023-24: As part of its annual exercise, the Bank has released its integrated annual report for the financial year 2023-24. This report, available on the Bank's website, highlights the strategic and structural initiative, Union Access, along with other crucial information about financial inclusion. You can access the report Please click here for Annual Report 2023-24 (English Version) Please click here for Annual Report 2023-24 (Hindi Version) These milestones are cause for celebration, as they underscore the Bank's role as a pioneer in inclusive banking. We must acknowledge and applaud the community members who are championing these changes within their organizations as staff members. Through this communication, we encourage all colleagues in the BFSI sector to advocate for innovative solutions that enhance banking services for the community. Prashant Naik and myself are always available to provide guidance and support as we co-create inclusive and innovative banking services for everyone.
