In the era of smart, how do the elderly make appointments for the digital divide? This bank gave a heartwarming answer.
Recently, on the exhibition board of the Yanta Road Branch of the Agricultural Bank of China, a group of cute cartoon paintings appeared, marked with specific links such as how to download mobile banking, how to register users, and how to operate mobile banking.

He saw an exhibition board in the bank, which used hand-drawn drawings to introduce the operation methods of mobile banking in detail. "Now, you have to use your mobile phone to do everything. We elderly people can't keep up with the times. The practice of this bank touched me very much. After I read it, I learned to use mobile banking. Many things don't have to go to the bank, and I can do it at home."
On December 16, a reporter from the China Business News came to the Yanta Road Branch of the Agricultural Bank of China that Mr. Zhang said. He entered the bank.

Bank: Most elderly people do not know how to use mobile banking to provide some services to the elderly
Huashang Daily reporter met Ms. Zhou, the person in charge of the bank. She introduced that there are many retirees around the place where the Yanta Road Branch is located, and many of them use the Agricultural Bank’s card. Therefore, there are a lot of elderly people coming to handle business before and after the salary is paid. Their business is actually very simple, which is to check whether the salary has been paid, and sometimes withdraw some cash. But it's such a simple business that they often have to queue for a long time. How to solve this problem by
? Ms. Zhou said that after discussing the discussion, the bank colleagues felt that the hand-drawing method should be an intuitive and easy-to-acceptance method for the elderly. It happened that a colleague in the bank was good at painting, so everyone spent more than a month planning and producing a group of comics. "At work, we often encounter situations where the elderly do not know how to use mobile banking, and queuing up at the counter will waste a lot of time, because the mobile phone screen is small, it is difficult to see the font clearly, and it is inconvenient to operate, so we want to use comics to enlarge the mobile phone screen and mark it out simple functions for the elderly to use."
Ms. Zhou said that in the intelligent era, every group should enjoy the progress of life. The times are developing, and we should care about the elderly. We hope that through the small actions of the bank, the elderly can feel that they have not been forgotten by the times. ,

How should consumers protect their rights when cash is rejected? The head of relevant departments of the People's Bank of China said that if consumers find that they refuse to accept or take discriminatory measures to exclude cash, they should properly retain the corresponding evidence or clues, and complain and report through various channels such as urban government hotlines, consumer rights protection, and financial consumer rights protection.
