IIT-Madras, CAMS explore accessible digital finance ecosystem for disabled

CHENNAI: Making digital financial services accessible to persons with disabilities (PwDs) is emerging as a key area of research under the renewed fintech collaboration between IIT-Madras and Computer Age Management Services (CAMS).

Research is under way through the CAMS IIT Madras FinTech Innovation Lab (CIFIL) to examine how financial applications and authentication systems can be designed so that disabled people, particularly the visually impaired, are not excluded from the expanding digital financial ecosystem, CAMS MD Anuj Kumar told TNIE on Wednesday.
