[Prashant Naik]

Friends,



Awareness on deployment of talking ATM by banks is a major issue.  To
spread awareness, we as part of IBA sub-committee suggested and provided a
poster template to IBA.



In Jan 2014, IBA issued a circular requesting banks to have a display board
with a poster in the ATM room/entrance. If the ATM is installed with
talking program for the blind then bank should have a poster stating
“Talking ATM for All. This talking ATM provides spoken instructions through
any standard headset plugged into the audio jack on the face of the ATM”.
It has symbol of person with white cane and line as ‘specially designed for
visually challenged’ at the bottom.



Below is a complete text of the IBA circular.

Circular text starts.



IBA POSTER TO BE DISPLAYED AT THE ENTRANCE OF TALKING ATM – 16th JANUARY
2014

Indian Banks' Association

No.CIR/RB/ATMVCP/8667

January 16, 2014



The Chief Executives of all Member Banks



Dear Sirs/Madam,



ATMs installed for Visually Challenged Persons



As part of the measures aimed at inclusive banking, RBI in the recent past
have issued guidelines for providing all banking facilities to the visually
challenged persons as being provided to normal customers. These services
include cheque book facility, ATM cards, mobile and Internet Banking
facilities. India has over 15 million visually challenged persons, and
banks need to make special efforts to ensure that they are able to meet
banking needs of these persons. In line with the RBI guidelines, all the
banks have made efforts to provide banking services to visually Challenged
Persons. However, feedback indicate that visually challenged persons face
lot of difficulties at the ground level, be it for opening of accounts,
securing cheque book, ATM cards or getting net banking facilities.



2. The Reserve Bank of India had advised that banks should make at least
one third of new ATMs installed as talking ATMs with Braille keypads and
place them strategically in consultation with other banks to ensure that at
least one talking ATM with Braille keypad is generally available in each
locality for catering to needs of visually impaired persons.



3. The IBA Sub-Committee on ATM System for Visually Challenged Persons had
deliberated on the issue of talking ATMs and has designed Standards for
Accessible ATM with Complete example of the workflow and screen shots for
an Accessible ATM as adopted by Accessible ATMs which is complete,
comprehensive and extremely user friendly. These standards outline what
constitutes 'accessibility' features for blind and low vision users and
wheelchair users and process standards that ought to be followed to ensure
effective deployment and uniformity amongst accessible ATMs of different
banks and therefore facilitating ease at the level of the end consumer. The
Standards for Accessible ATM with Complete example of the workflow and
screen shots for an Accessible ATM as adopted by Accessible ATMs was
thereafter circulated to member banks for adoption vide IBA.



4. The IBA Sub-Committee while adopting the Standards for Accessible ATMs,
also suggested that IBA may also consider displaying a board at the ATM
entrance, so as to give the information that a particular ATM is SPECIALLY
DESIGNED FOR VISUALLY CHALLENGED. Annexure - 1



5. The matter was deliberated at the meeting of the managing committee of
the association and decided that member banks may be requested to display
the Board as given in Annexure (as per the colors shown) at the ATM
entrance which has been enabled for the same, for the benefit of visually
challenged person.



6. Accordingly we request you to consider displaying the board for the
benefit of the visually challenged fraternity.



Yours faithfully,

K Unnikrishnan

Deputy Chief Executive

Encl: as above

ANNEXED - IBA TALKING ATM POSTER



Circular text ends.



Initially few banks had this poster at their talking ATMs rooms but now
mostly it has disappeared and not maintained.  Recently at Phoenix
(Palladium) mall, Mumbai I found such posters at Citibank two Talking ATMs.



We need to push for implementation of the said poster which will spread
awareness amongst ATM guards, banks staff and public.

Prashant Naik

I also have a simmiler experience with talking ATM. The union bank of india 
ATM of a location was not working. When I approach the branch manager with 
the complaint, he confidently told me that this is not a talking ATM. But I 
have seen the location in the official list of the bank and use the same 
before. When I requested him to call Prashant sir, then only the matter get 
sorted out. Now it is working absolutely fine.

If each of us  on the group spreads the word around in the banks we engage with 
and also amongst people we move it, a good start would be made. There are I 
believe over 4000 members in this group.

[AI] 4th Anniversary - Good News from talkingatmindia.org

[Xavier's Resource Centre for the Visuall St. Xavier's College]

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)
 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
 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

Kindly reply to a...@xrcvc.org for your comments and feedback.

Best Regards,

Dr. Sam Taraporevala

Director, XRCVC
