Today I got to speak at the accessible banking conference in Brussels, organised by the European Blind Union and AccessibleEU, on a panel about making banking services actually work for everyone. I was joined by @ErikGustafsson and @DanielGoransson from #AxessLab, Hendrik Bourgeois from #Mastercard, and moderator Anna Martin from #BEUC.
Axess Lab kicked things off with a fantastic demo of a public touchscreen that starts speaking as soon as you explore it with your finger. That alone could solve a lot of the problems blind people face with lockers, kiosks, and terminals that currently rely only on visuals.
We talked about how inaccessible systems aren’t just annoying–they’re risky. If you have to tell your PIN to someone else just to pay, something’s seriously wrong. Another strong point was that accessibility isn’t something you can just add on at the end–it has to be part of how teams work, from product design to customer support. Otherwise, it just doesn’t stick well.

A view from behind of a conference room full of people. At the front of the room, several speakers are visible on stage, seated at the table with microphones, water bottles, and name tags in front of them. Behind the speakers, a large projection screen displays a close-up of Jakob speaking, along with a small window showing a sign language interpreter. Next to the screen is a banner for “European Accessibility Centre” and recognizable branding from the European Union. To the left side of the image, there is a large screen displaying real-time closed captions, In the foreground, a technical control station is set up with multiple computer monitors, keyboards, a switcher, and other audiovisual equipment spread across a long desk. The two central monitors display multiple live camera feeds of the event, including close-ups of speakers, wide shots of the panel and audience, and a view featuring the sign language interpreter. To the right, a laptop is running captioning software, showing the current captions that are being displayed both for in-room screens and remote viewers. Technical cables and small equipment are neatly arranged, with a water bottle.

I trasferimenti in #stablecoin sono in forte crescita. Hanno raggiunto i 27,6 trilioni di dollari nel 2024, superando #Visa e #Mastercard, in gran parte grazie ai pagamenti transfrontalieri e al #trading di #criptovalute.

L’attuale amministrazione statunitense ha accolto con favore queste #risorsedigitali e ha recentemente dato una spinta al mercato delle stablecoin. Alla fine di gennaio, #DonaldTrump ha firmato un ordine esecutivo 1/n
