From This Saturday, June 28, 2025Getting money will be much easier for those who have still been almost impossible to perform such everyday actions as have money How and where they want.
This will be possible thanks to the entry into force of the new Accessibility lawAs published Royal Decree 193/2023, March 21With the help of which the main conditions for accessibility and non -discrimination of people with disabilities in these functional tasks were regulated at the state level.
(Then) the first vice -president of the government, Nadia KalvinhoHe promoted his role as Minister of Economic Affairs and Digital Transformation At a meeting with bank employers in 2023 for Improve the “financial inclusion” of the elderlyThe field is not only for them: at this meeting, the financial inclusion of these people with visual or auditory difficulties should have been guaranteed.
That’s how New ATMsWith the law that makes banking organizations meet the necessary requirements in order to convey this project of 2023 to reality. They will have time to adapt their branches with the help of this new cashier model, but they will have to implement the proposed measures without justification, although they are being carried out gradually.
These will be new ATMs
With a developed proposal and a neglected law, To date New ATMs should be available, safe and convenient for any user, regardless of their visual or auditory capacity.
Thus, automatic ATMs should have different characteristics and adaptations that some Available and multimsenoric terminalsThe field of some characteristics that will be implemented at the new ATMs:
- Screens with redesign, which contributes to navigation.
- The reliefs in the buttons and slots that allow you to identify more intuitively clear.
- The larger font size.
- Voice instructions to manage one step by step.
- Audio text conversion function.
- Audioguas or headphones constantly connected to the terminal.
Many of these banking terminals have already had this type of assistance, but this new measure will contribute to the implementation. Because it is useless to have a fork for inserting headphones, if you do not have them at that time. From this moment everything helps Accessibility at ATMs This will become really effective.
Although not everything that shines, gold, and, unfortunately, this adaptation can be slow if the banking entities decide to “use” the period in this Progressive adaptationThe field and that existing ATMs have a total number 10 years of useful life be replaced. These will be those new ATMs that are implanted today, June 28, which should take into account “yes” or “yes” with these new requirements from the first minute of their implementation.
The Availability Law that comes from Europe
This The attention that our elders said in banks Already in 2022, this proposal was born. Digital transformation, which is moving along the jumps and borders in our world, left most of the population.
Some people saw how they should Learn to use the cashier for 70 yearsmany others asked for help to make them They were personally present at their bankHow life was done.
His prayers were heard, his windings and all the people who find obstacles on their day for a day in order to save life with full participation in society.
The European commission launched a project for European Availability Law (EAA)The field on June 28, 2025 EAA also enters into force at the European level.
And not only serves ATMs, this European law goes far beyond banking organizations. The purpose of the EAA is to ensure the availability of any key service or product: phones, computers, electronic books, transport services, electronic trade and yes, banking services.
A The European Commission made a statement Yesterday, in which they indicated that EAA “facilitates the full participation of people with disabilities in society, for example, at the workplace, making computer equipment available and facilitating help technologies.”
Thus, the European law on accessibility combines various existing norms in each country of the European Union, which prevented complete and universal accessibility. This association will contribute to the existence of a common market for really affordable products and services.
People with different difficulties will not be the only ones who benefit from the implementation of the EAA, the company will also benefit from reducing costs and getting more ease in their trade on the cross -country, which can even allow them to expand their market.
