Dear all,
The first workshop on accessible banking for the blind was conducted
by Assistive Technology Helpline of NAB Delhi on 9 November 2013.
The response to the workshop was extremely enthusiastic and great
feedback has been since received from the participants.
National Association for the Blind Delhi Helpline hopes to conduct
this workshop on a regular basis. We will soon announce the date for
the next workshop which we are sure will be even better incorporating
all the suggestions received so far.
The primary objective of this workshop is to encourage visually
impaired persons to make use of the new channels of banking namely
online banking, mobile banking and talking ATMs. We are trying to
achieve this objective by giving essential information, making
demonstrations of use of new banking channels with assistive
technology and an providing an opportunity to have a first-hand
experience of independence in banking. Running to different offices
for payment of utility bills, purchasing of tickets etc. is difficult
for visually impaired persons due to the inaccessibility of the
transport system and the infrastructure. Visually impaired persons can
do all such daily chores from the comfort of their homes if they take
advantage of the new banking channels.
In this first workshop of its kind the following subjects were covered.
1. Use of Talking ATM
2. Use of online banking for common tasks such as balance enquiry,
funds transfer, bill payment etc.
3. Independent handling of bank cheques using innovative printing
templates
4. Status of accessibility of Mobile banking
5. Essential information about use of credit cards
6. Safe banking tips
7. Hands-on experience of the Union Bank Talking ATM
Many participants also made use of the opportunity to open a bank
account with Union Bank. The bank officers filled up the forms and
some of them were even provided start-up kit consisting of the ATM and
online banking details on the spot.
This workshop was facilitated by young visually impaired bankers Mr.
Yogesh Taneja & Mr. Rahul Gambhir who are working as assistant Manager
with Union Bank of India and yours truly. It is commendable that
Yogesh and Rahul are doing their best to bring more comfort in the
lives of other visually impaired persons besides handling tough jobs.
The 61 MB audio recording of this workshop can be downloaded from this

often the links are broken into two or more lines by the email
clients.
Lastly we thank all the participants for their cooperation and hope
that you will now indulge in online banking with more confidence.
