Mastercard Inc. is introducing a new card for people who are blind or have vision impairment, the company said.

Different varieties of the card, which will become available in 2022, will use physical notches to help people use touch to distinguish among them and discern the correct way to insert them into scanning machines, according to Mastercard. The debit card will have a squarelike notch, the credit card will have a rounded notch, and the prepaid card will have a triangular one.

Some banks and other card issuers already offer designs with a notch on the side and other features. Barclays PLC provides a notched debit card, for example, with a bright stripe and arrow to indicate which way to insert the card.

Insightful and wonderful inclusive innovation!

This time from our valuable company Mastercard.

In 2022 Mastercard will introduce their brand new cards, which will be accessible for people with visual impairments

The cards will have physical notches to help people use touch to differentiate between the credit, debit and prepaid card types.

This is a positive step for #InclusiveDesign and we hope to see other companies following their lead. Because accessibility is everyone’s business.
