Assistive technology

We have redefined customer experience for people with determination by integrating technology with human interactions. Here are some of the services at our disability friendly branches:

Kin Trans

This device allows you to communicate independently with a branch staff using American Sign Language (ASL) by automating ASL into text.

Braille printer

For the visually challenged, we provide a braille printer that facilitates account opening in English, Arabic and Braille.

Travellers HD

Travellers HD is a lightweight video magnifier for people with low vision or colour blindness. This device allows you to read forms, cheques and documents comfortably and conveniently, by customizing settings to suit visual capabilities.

Hearing induction loop

This device amplifies sound to more than 50% of hearing abilities and cuts out unwanted background sounds, allowing clear communication with tellers, customer service executives or at meetings.

Tactile map

The tactile map helps make spatial information accessible for people with visual impairments. These maps are audio-activated and are designed to be read by touch.
