At the end of January DNB (the Dutch national bank) published a major study on the effects of digitization in payments: Digitization of the payment system: a solution for some, a challenge for others<\/a>. The study shows that digitization has brought a lot to society but that some people struggle with digital services and cannot autonomously manage their daily digital banking affairs. This includes some elderly people, people with low literacy, people with disabilities and people with a migration background.<\/p>\n

We welcome this report. Financial services should be accessible to everyone and the report<\/span> identifies where we need to focus our efforts, in close collaboration with social interest groups. The Dutch Banking Association and the Dutch Payments Association have published a response to the report on behalf of their members, with clear short and long term commitments. You can read more about this in this newsletter. <\/span><\/p>\n

For us, the commitment means that we will continue to focus on accessible payment services with more pace and resources, to intensify collaboration between our members and social organizations and to accelerate projects.<\/span><\/p>\n

The ‘commitment’ was drafted with four major banks. We cordially invite other members to join the commitment and the long term program!<\/p>\n
