Bank Albilad launches an initiative that is the first of its kind in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia in the banking sector by providing subtitled videos in sign language for products and services, including opening a current account in a digital way through Albilad website www.bankalbilad.com without visiting the branch or submitting any documents. This in addition to real estate and personal finance products and card products. This reflects Bank Albilad’s interest in all segments of society, specifically the persons with disabilities. This is to achieve sustainable development and a societal balance among all members of society.

Mr. Abdulaziz Al-Anizan, CEO of Bank Albilad said: “Bank Albilad always pays attention to all members of society, especially the person with disabilities. The Bank provides them with all banking services in an easy and smooth manner and giving them the highest priority in dealing with all branches of the bank. All models of products and services are printed in Braille at all our branches so that the persons with disability can benefit from all products and obtain all financing services, including housing finance and other personal finance solutions and banking cards that suit their lifestyle. This is done through a number of qualitative initiatives launched for the first time in the Kingdom, the last of which is a series of introductory videos translated into sign language to explain products, their advantages and how to apply for them. This stems from the principle of social responsibility in Bank Albilad, where this responsibility is translated by harnessing all efforts to serve the community through #Albilad_Initiative program.

It is noteworthy that Bank Albilad pays attention to community service under the umbrella of social responsibility programs #Albilad_Initiative, which exceeds more than 53 programs and initiatives to serve the community, the most prominent of which is the Comprehensive Access Branch (Al Takhassusi Branch in Riyadh) with all the capabilities necessary to serve people with disabilities. This in addition to the launch of the banking sign dictionary to enable people with hearing disabilities to perform their transactions with confidence and ease. Also, the bank’s ATMs around the Kingdom have been adopted for the use of the blind and people with disabilities, through the development of special software and ground guiding paths. Moreover, Bank Albilad provides “Fazkironi” application for smart devices, which has more than two million and five hundred thousand users. The application includes prayer times, Qibla directions, supplications and adhkaar. Bank Albilad also provides many innovative community initiatives that have a sustainable impact on environmental development. Bank Albilad recently launched a qualitative initiative in the field of environment protection by establishing a Solar System in Albilad Tower, distributed over an area of 1743 square meters. This initiative is regarded as one of the largest initiatives to use renewable and sustainable energy to preserve the environment, which significantly assist in supplying Albilad Tower with clean energy that would reduce environmentally harmful carbon emissions and reduce consumption costs.
