2025-08-27 00:00:00 Visually impaired customers can now have greater control of every payment they make. Thales have come up with a discreet and secure assistive technology solution for people with visual impairments that gives them greater control and makes each payment more secure and trusted. VoiceCard Companion is a mobile application, associated with your “Voice Payment Card”, which vocalizes the transaction details. A description of each step – the amount, PIN validation, remaining attempts in case of incorrect PIN, transaction completion – is encrypted and sent by the “Voice Payment Card” to the phone allowing the cardholder to hear the details and pay in full reassurance.
