Kathmandu. Now, banks and financial institutions will have to set up separate counters for the disabled and senior citizens. Banks have to set separate counters not only for those who do not know how to write, hear, or see but also for senior citizens. <\/p>\n
In addition, banks will now have to make their digital wallets disabled-friendly. <\/p>\n
Nepal Rastra Bank (NRB) has directed the banks and financial institutions (BFIs) to coordinate with each other to make at least one branch at each local level disabled-friendly. <\/p>\n
According to the organization, there should be at least one disabled-friendly ATM with Braille science control buttons and audio support in the ATM lounge. The details of this type of ATM should be put on your website. If a person with disability self-declarations that he or she can use financial services such as ATM, mobile banking, internet banking, etc., the organization shall provide such services to the person. <\/p>\n
Banks and financial institutions have also urged the banks and financial institutions to develop their websites and mobile banking apps so that people with visual impairment can also use them. <\/p>\n
The directive also states that the organization should include visually friendly touch features in the debit\/credit cards it issues. <\/p>\n
