Ajman Bank launches Mastercard Touch Card
Mastercard and Ajman Bank have strengthened their commitment to inclusion through a new initiative designed to expand access to the digital economy .
Touch Card is an accessible payment card that will allow blind and partially-sighted people to easily facilitate payments and distinguish between its cards .
There are few effective ways for those who are blind or who have reduced vision to quickly determine whether they ’ re holding a credit , debit or prepaid card , particularly as more cards move to flat designs without embossed names and numbers . Mastercard is addressing this challenge with a simple innovation and has introduced a system of notches on the side of the card to help consumers use the right card , the right way .
“ At Ajman Bank inclusion is an integral aspect of our Corporate Social Responsibility ( CSR ). Innovation has the power to change the world for the better ,” said Mohamed Amiri , Chief Executive Officer , Ajman Bank .
“ We are delighted to partner with Mastercard to be the first movers to help drive this innovative solution that will help us to respond to everyone ’ s needs . 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 . We ’ ve always appreciated Mastercard ’ s vision for thinking of new ways to innovate and do things differently to serve more people .”
