Voice Card, developed by Papara saying “Papara heard the voice”, aims to enable visually impaired individuals to perform their financial transactions quickly, easily and securely. It is stated that there is a partnership with BlindLook for the user design of Voice Card, which Papara has implemented in cooperation with Mastercard and the global digital security technology brand Thales. Voice Card is a first in the world with its technology.
Visually impaired users can hear the transaction amount with Voice Card
Users can hear the transaction amount on their mobile phone when the Voice Card is inserted into the POS device. After entering the card password, the payment is made. Thus, users can safely complete their transaction by knowing the amount they paid. It is stated that Voice Card will provide convenience for visually impaired individuals and all users who have difficulty in making payments with a POS device.
Emre Kenci, CEO of Papara, “Working to develop faster, easier, more affordable and enjoyable financial products for everyone, Papara is a leading company in its field. It is in our DNA to remove the borders, change the rules, provide freedom. We believe that every organization that is a leader in its field has responsibilities towards society. We showed this by joining the BlindLook Brands list last year with our cooperation with BlindLook.
Is Papara reliable? What does it do?
Is Papara, a digital money wallet that allows you to send and receive money and shop online, reliable?
This year, we took a concrete step with the Voice Card, which uses voice technology for our visually impaired users, saying ‘Papara heard the sound’. Voice Card, a first in the world, is the product of a collaborative effort with Mastercard and Thales. We aim to reach everyone who needs this convenience through BlindLook. We will continue to focus on social benefit with our products and services that highlight our equality and inclusiveness approach in accessing financial services.”

Avşar Gürdal, General Manager of Mastercard Turkey and Azerbaijan“We have been pioneering technology around the world for over 50 years to make all payments faster, secure and smarter. With our global network, we connect individuals, businesses and financial institutions. Today, cardholders with the Mastercard logo can use their cards in more than 210 countries with the same peace of mind.
In fact, as in all our products, the most important feature we have added to Voice Card is our international network and the high security that Mastercard undertakes in every payment transaction. At Mastercard, financial inclusion and access are of strategic importance to us. The democratization of payments and the construction of sustainable economies are only possible if each individual has access to the system. We are very happy to be involved in this project and to enable Voice Card to accept payment all over the world.”
