Contisystems provides Bankinter with an inclusive and sustainable debit card

As part of its commitment to sustainability and social inclusion, Bankinter Portugal has launched a card made from 100% recycled PVC, personalized in Braille, for its visually impaired customers.

This card, supplied by Contisystems, ensures a smaller ecological footprint and takes advantage of a set of technical and procedural means that we have put together to make braille printing and a half-moon side cut possible. Designed in collaboration with the Association of the Blind and Visually Impaired of Portugal (ACAPO), this card enables visually impaired citizens to use their bank cards more autonomously, improving their experience in a simple and practical way, while maintaining their privacy and guaranteeing their security.

We recognize the crucial importance of using recycled materials to reduce the industry's environmental impact and for some years now we have been promoting the use of materials such as recycled PVC to our customers (see more on this topic here: Contribute to a greener future with re-PVC cards - Contisystems).

Since 2023, we have made it possible for our customers to personalize their cards in braille, as a way of providing equal technological facilities and promoting individual autonomy for visually impaired bank customers (see more on this topic here: Braille card personalization - Contisystems).

With the launch of this inclusive and sustainable debit card, together with Bankinter Portugal, we are building a better, fairer, more inclusive and sustainable future.
