The card has a touch card feature with a rounded notch on the right side to make it easy-to-use for visually impaired customers, helping them identify the proper card insertion direction while inserting the card in the point-of-sale terminal. Moreover, these cards are made of biodegradable materials, which limit their negative impact on the environment by helping reduce carbon footprint.
Commenting on sustainable practices, Masoud M. J. Hayat, vice chairman and group chief executive officer at Burgan Bank, said, "We are truly proud to be the first in Kuwait’s banking sector to introduce such a smart, accessible solution. Our main aim continues to be delivering an advanced, tailor-made banking experience—one that answers to our customers’ needs and wants whilst promoting a more sustainable practice. This card will provide a greater sense of inclusivity, comfort, and independence to our customers with visual impairments."
He further added: "Beyond just the regulatory requirements, we continue to cater to the needs of all our customers and deliver upon them, living up to our ‘driven by you’ commitment. Which is why we are determined to constantly improve, enhance, and expand our services to guarantee the most convenient and sustainable banking journey possible."
