I think the 75% and 25% relate to Barrier Break which is refered to as the company in the sentence. Being such a company, they are amazed at banking system. In fact, the more familiar any organisation is with disability, the more familiar they would be with discrimination. Anyways, very good effort by Barrier Break. Hearty congratulations.
I always maintain disabled customers should make noise when they are discriminated, and such noise should be made at the top. Banks do listen to customers.
