Ajman Bank and Mastercard have strengthened their commitment to inclusion through a new initiative designed to expand access to the digital economy by launching the world-first Touch Card, WAM reported.
The payment card will allow blind and partially sighted people to distinguish among their cards to facilitate easy payments, through three different notches.
Credit cards have a squarish notch, debit cards have a rounded notch, and prepaid cards will have a triangular notch.
“Anyone in a low-light environment or reaching into a wallet or purse one-handed can benefit from the Touch Card design,” WAM said.
The partnership, is part of the bank’s efforts to “respond to everyone’s needs,” Ajman Bank’s chief executive officer Mohamed Amiri said.
“For visually impaired customers, selecting the right card can very often be a challenging experience. Touch Card allows consumers to quickly distinguish which card they are using through the three distinct notches,” Amiri said.
