The United Bank for Africa (UBA) has launched a Braille account opening form to include those with visually impaired disabilities in the banking system.
Braille is a reading and writing system for blind and vision-impaired people. It is made up of raised dots that can be ‘read’ by touch.
“Today what you have is people reading out the content of the account opening form for this category of customers. Sometimes they don’t get the right message on the account opening form or the person reading it to them is too fast or slow, and they don’t get the information. He said it was exciting to see that a cooperate organisation like UBA is being serious with the drive for social inclusion of persons with disabilities by “creating this particular product for visually impaired customers”.“When the financial infrastructure is not accessible to persons with disabilities, when a person like me goes to the bank and I cannot access the ATM, it means that the bank does not expect a person like me to have enough money to put in the bank,” Dairo said.
