CaixaBank, one of Spain’s largest financial institutions, has announced its partnership with ONCE, the National Organization of Spanish Blind People. This collaboration aims to promote financial inclusion and accessibility for visually impaired individuals.
As part of the partnership, CaixaBank will introduce innovative solutions and services specifically designed for the visually impaired community. These initiatives include accessible ATMs, online banking platforms with improved accessibility features, and financial education programs that cater to the needs of blind individuals.
“At CaixaBank, we strongly believe in creating an inclusive society where everyone has equal access to essential financial services,” said Juan Antonio Alcaraz, CEO of CaixaBank. “By partnering with ONCE, we are taking essential steps towards empowering visually impaired individuals and ensuring they have the means to manage their finances independently.”
ONCE will provide valuable insights and expertise to help CaixaBank develop and improve its accessible banking solutions. The organization has been a leading advocate for the rights and well-being of blind and visually impaired people in Spain for over 80 years.
This partnership reflects CaixaBank’s commitment to corporate social responsibility and its dedication to fostering a more inclusive society. It aligns with the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals, specifically Goal 10: Reduced Inequalities, and Goal 17: Partnerships for the Goals.
CaixaBank’s collaboration with ONCE will not only benefit visually impaired individuals but also contribute to a more inclusive and accessible banking sector in Spain. The bank aims to set an industry benchmark by leveraging technology and innovation to create financial tools that meet the diverse needs of its customers.
By embracing this partnership, CaixaBank strives to contribute to the social and economic empowerment of the visually impaired community, allowing them to fully participate in financial activities and achieve greater financial independence.
Both CaixaBank and ONCE are excited about the possibilities this collaboration brings and are committed to making a significant impact on the lives of visually impaired people throughout Spain.
With this partnership, CaixaBank is set to revolutionize the banking experience for visually impaired individuals and inspire other financial institutions to prioritize accessibility and inclusion.
