The smartphone specially designed for seniors comes with everything pre-installed that is needed for everyday use, including the MobileBanking App of UniCredit Bank Austria.
Robert Zadrazil, CEO of UniCredit Bank Austria, emphasises: “Everyday life is becoming increasingly digital and we do not want older people to be excluded from this development. Despite rising user numbers in online banking, we know from our experience that there are also older people who have uncertainties in dealing with internet banking and smartphones. That is why we are the first and only bank in Austria to offer a mobile phone for senior citizens, which facilitates everyday life and entry into the digital world through simple operation and pre-installed apps such as our MobileBanking, thus promoting the digital inclusion of older people.”
Accessibility means a better quality of life for all people. This is why UniCredit Bank Austria wants to make banking transactions barrier-free for its customers and is thus playing a pioneering role in Austria. UniCredit Bank Austria is considered a innovator in the field of accessibility and inclusion. Digital inclusion and efforts to enable senior citizens to participate in the digital facilitation of everyday life are important goals of the bank. The emporiaSMART.5 enables participation in the digital world through simple and uncomplicated operation.
