This initiative marks a significant milestone under the bank’s flagship accessibility program, Union Access. What is Central Bank Digital Currency (CBDC)? The Central Bank Digital Currency, also known as the Digital Rupee, is a legal tender issued by the Reserve Bank of India and backed by the Central Government. Union Bank of India has taken a pioneering step in making its CBDC app accessible, addressing accessibility challenges often found in apps with standard user interfaces provided by NPCI. Key accessibility features of the app include: Screen Reader Support: Accessibility hints are embedded throughout the app, enabling smooth navigation and operation for screen reader users. Accessibility Tips Page: A dedicated Accessibility Tips section, accessible from the Profile menu, offers guidance on using the app effectively. Unique Accessibility Feature: The app includes notes and coins recognition functionality for both iOS and Android, setting it apart from other CBDC apps. Additionally, Union Bank of India has made the User Manual for Visually Impaired Users accessible in multiple formats, including PDF, Braille, and large font. These resources guide users on operating the Digital Rupee app with screen reader support. You can listen to a short audio clip demonstrating navigation with TalkBack, attached for your reference. For more details, visit: Union Bank Digital Rupee Details. Union Bank of India continues to make accessibility a reality through innovative and inclusive initiatives. It is a great pleasure for Rahul Gambhir and me to be part of the Union bank's accessibility journey from May 2022.  We are looking for your suggestions and feedback.
