NTB introduces Touch Card for visually impaired

Nations Trust Bank became the first in Sri Lanka to introduce the Touch Card, an initiative implemented by Mastercard. 

The Touch Card is specially designed to aidvisually impaired and partially sighted cardholders. This innovative card enhances the banks range of debit cards and underscores its commitment to enhancing customer experiences that are on par with global standards.

The Mastercard Touch Card features a distinct rounded notch, which enables the visually impaired cardholders to easily distinguish it from any other card. It has been developed in collaboration with a global card manufacturer and was reviewed rigorously by notable organisations such as VISIONS in the United States of America, and the Royal National Institute of Blind People (RNIB) in the United Kingdom.

Niluka Gunatilake, Senior Vice President – Cards and Consumer Assets at Nations Trust Bank said, “It is our pleasure to introduce this groundbreaking Touch Card to Sri Lanka. It underscores Nations Trust Bank’s commitment to making our services more accessible including the visually impaired. The vision of Mastercard to implement such an initiative sets a new standard in banking and accessibility on a global scale, and we at Nations Trust Bank are proud to be the first to bring it to our shores.”
