Bill pushes ATM accessibility for blind in Philippines
September 7, 2009
Business Mirror reports that PROlife legislators in the Philippines are pushing for the early passage of a bill that would provide standards for visually impaired users at ATMs in the country.
The legislation, know as the ATM Visually Impaired-Friendly Act, calls for the addition of a nonvisual method for reading or relaying messages that appear on ATM screens.
If passed, every banking institution in the country will be required to maintain certain specification at each ATM in its network and ensure equal access for all individuals. ATMs will be required to transmit messages through visual and audio systems.
