Mastercard has partnered with Ajman Bank, based in the United Arab Emirates, to introduce the Touch Card, a card for blind and near-sighted people. The cards will include notches on the sides to help customers determine if they are holding a credit, debit or prepaid card, according to a press release.

The Touch Card is compatible with point-of-sale terminals and ATMs and will feature cash back benefits of up to 10% that can be used for fuel, online, groceries and school fees.

"We are delighted to partner with Mastercard to be the first movers to help drive this innovative solution that will help us to respond to everyone's needs. For visually impaired customers, selecting the right card can very often be a challenging experience. Touch Card allows consumers to quickly distinguish which card they are using through the three distinct notches," Mohamed Amiri, Ajman Bank CEO, said in the release. "We've always appreciated Mastercard's vision for thinking of new ways to innovate and do things differently to serve more people."
