Talking ATMsOur talking ATMs (also known as Voice Navigation ATMs) are designed for customers with visual impairments to safely and independently withdraw cash, change their PIN and check their balance through a voice activated system. The keypads on our ATMs have a raised ‘5’ button to help find the middle of the keypad.
Voice IDOur Voice ID on Interactive Voice Response (IVR) makes authentication easier for the hearing impaired customers as they do not have to use Trading Partner Identification Number (TPIN) or One-Time Password (OTP).
Click2ChatOur customers with mobility impairments can now reach out to our agents/relationship managers via Click2Chat/Click2RM to get instant answers in real-time.
Door Step BankingIn some of our markets, if our customers find it difficult to visit our branches for any access or mobility related reasons, our team will arrange to visit them at their home.
