Kōrero for Change - Banking
Access Matters presents this webinar about ableism in banking and changes that can be made to make banking more accessible.
Upcoming session(s)
15 APR
9:00am-11:00am
Banking is an essential service. Yet too often, systems are designed without disabled people in mind. Digital-only platforms can exclude those who are blind or have low vision. Phone authentication processes can create barriers for Deaf people. Inaccessible branches, complex paperwork, rigid identification requirements, and assumptions about capability can prevent equitable access to financial independence.
This webinar will explore how ableism shows up in banking practices, policies, technology, and culture. We will hear lived experiences, identify systemic barriers, and discuss practical changes that banks, regulators, and policymakers can make to ensure financial services are accessible, inclusive, and dignity-affirming for all.
