ANZ introduces accessibility features to more than 3 million Visa debit
cards

25 October 2017



ANZ today announced the rollout of its specially designed accessibility
features to all retail and commercial Visa debit cards to make everyday
banking easier for customers with a disability.



All ANZ’s 3.4 million Visa debit cards will now have tactile indicators,
larger fonts and high visibility leading edges to help customers identify
their cards and to help them easily identify which way to insert their card
into ATM and EFTPOS terminals.



Commenting on the rollout, ANZ Senior Manager Everyday Banking Steve Price
said: “We know that one in five Australians lives with a disability of some
sort, so it’s really important we develop products all our customers can
use conveniently.

“We have a commitment to inclusive design and accessibility standards in
all aspects of our product development, so the extension of these features
to a further 3.4 million cards is a significant part of delivering on
that.”



The new cards also work with all of ANZ’s mobile payment options, including
Apple Pay, Android Pay, Samsung Pay and Fitbit Pay. They also feature Visa
PayWave so customers can ‘tap and pay’ wherever contactless payments are
accepted, including at ANZ’s contactless ATMs



The rollout follows ANZ’s development of the accessibility features that
were first introduced to its Access cards in October 2016. The features
will also be extended to ANZ’s range of commercial credit cards in
November, and to Visa debit cards in New Zealand early next year.



ANZ worked with Vision Australia to run focus groups with people who have
different levels of vision impairment to test the accessibility features
before developing the cards.

[Ai] RBI Policy: Good news for senior citizens, differently-abled as banks ordered to improve facilities

[Prashant Naik via Ai]

In a bid to improve banking facilities for senior citizens and
differently-abled persons, the Reserve Bank has decided to instruct banks
to put in place explicit mechanisms for meeting the needs of such persons
so that they do not feel marginalised. In the monetary policy statement,
the RBI said, “It has been reported that banks are discouraging or turning
away senior citizens and differently-abled persons from availing banking
facilities in branches. Notwithstanding the need to push digital
transactions and use of ATMs, it is imperative to be sensitive to the
requirements of senior citizens and differently-abled persons.
It has, therefore, been decided to instruct banks to put in place explicit
mechanisms for meeting the needs of such persons so that they do not feel
marginalised. “Ombudsmen will also be advised to pay heed to complaints in
this context. Necessary instructions in this regard will be issued by
end-October 2017,” it said.

[Ai] STORIES Uber Journeys: The world in voices

[Prashant Naik via Ai]

Uber showcased story of Ruchir.
‘Though I’m visually impaired, technology has never let me feel disabled’

Visually impaired from birth, Ruchir was born into a world that inhibited
access for the differently-abled. And now, a world that wasn’t designed for
him, is well within reach. A city that once overwhelmed him is now at his
fingertips. This is his journey – *the World in Voices*.
