(ANSA) – MILAN, 02 NOV – Encourage the use of credit cards also by making them more usable. In every situation. This is the idea behind Touch Card, the new Mastercard card designed for blind and visually impaired customers. A project to encourage the values ​​of diversity and inclusion, facilitating digital payments for all.

With credit, debit or prepaid cards that are taking on more and more minimal design, with the exclusion of the insertion of the name and numbers in relief, for 2.2 billion people in the world who suffer from vision problems it is always becoming more difficult to understand quickly and with certainty what kind of paper they are going to use.

With Touch Card, on the other hand, Mastercard has introduced a special system of engravings on the front side to help consumers identify the card they want to use by touch. The new Touch Card credit cards have, for example, a round incision, the debit cards instead have a large and square incision and, finally, the prepaid one has a triangular shape. Despite the unique design, the cards can be used at large-scale POS and ATM terminals. (HANDLE).
