Dear All
I have seen a lot of traffic and endless discussions about
the status of the accessible ATM of Union Bank of India (UBI), Vastrapur,
Ahmedabad. To set the record straight here are some key
points.
1. We
can label UBI ATM as the first fully accessible bilingual ATM.
2. Accessible
ATM machines have been deployed by different banks but this particular
ATM
machine
is comprehensive in its accessibility.
3. The
ICICI ATM machine which was in Mumbai and Pune deployed in the year 2002
has
had 3 language options but it would not be possible for non-ICICI users
to
access
its facilities. What is more it was not wheelchair
friendly.
4. The
Standard Chartered Bank (SCB) has also deployed an excellent model of a
talking
ATM machine however the locations are not wheelchair friendly and SCB
only
offers English to its users. This ATM can be accessed by any bank ATM
card
users
5. Banks
like State Bank of India have come out with some talking ATM machines
however
as of now access is restricted to only special SBI ATM card holder to
trigger accessibility
mode. They are soon going to change their policy.
6. The
current UBI ATM location itself is accessible for many disabled people as
its
in the campus of BPA and also has excellent tactile markers and signage.
7. I
was part of the XRCVC team that visited the BPA Vastrapur facility and I
can
say with confidence that it has lived up to the XRCVC ATM accessibility
checklist
requirements, as almost all the criteria
have been fully met. In fact based on the field report that we submitted
both UBI
and NCR have already implemented corrections on the basis of some of our
observation.
Good show by NCR and UBI keep it up
Infact this will be a model which we will be holding up for emulation
as par to the Indian bank association (IBA) ATM accessibility initiative.

Is
it really the first of it's kind? I think, ICICI have one in Mumbai for
several years and someone recently mentioned Standard Chartered has one
too.
Also, is this completely accessible? I mean for wheel chair users too?

It is certainly not.
I have seen more than 4 ATM machines taling but not fully accessible
around Mumbai. For e.g. at Dadar station when you go towards Bhaji
galli.

when
will we get all the ATMs accessible (talking)??? I really don't
understand what is the barrier for the implementation of these talking
machines in all the new ATMs by all the banks as many banks are
continuously installing new ones. why only one ATM in the premises of an
NGO? this step is welcomable but highly inadequate. I heard that the
CCPD in one of its judgment directed IBA (Indian Bankers' Association)
to install talking ATMs in all the new installations. informed members
please enlighten me.

Ma'am,
I do understand your fustration. However, when informed of the
process, it really sounds a herculian task.
There are many stake holders involved user representatives, machine
manufacturers, Policy makers and bank them selves.
To understand more about it, kindly read my posts in response to the
mail written by Synoj with Drishti ATM card subject.
