In July 2020, we introduced enhanced tactile marks in our banknotes to aid the elderly and visually impaired in identifying denominations easier. The BSP is also now exploring the addition of braille functionality to our banknotes, which aims to benefit as many as 2.5 million visually impaired Filipinos.
We recognize that many members of the PW D are highly vulnerable to and experienced unfair practices. We are reminding banks and other BSP-supervised financial institutions to enforce non-discrimination policies and promote access to welfare-enhancing financial services of our PWD sector.
