Prudential Bank organized a financial literacy workshop for individuals with disabilities in Accra, collaborating with Sightsavers International. The event, themed "Advancing Financial Inclusion: Empowering Every Ability," aimed to enhance attendees' understanding of banking services and financial management.

Abdul Razak Mohammed, Programme Manager at Sightsavers International, highlighted that financial inclusion is a fundamental right for persons with disabilities and that digital banking could empower them independently, provided it is designed and delivered accessibly.
The workshop addressed personal financial management, the advantages of digital banking, and the safe use of Prudential Bank's USSD platform. Attendees also learned about the bank's policies and frontline staff training for serving customers with disabilities. The attendees appreciated the practical advice offered during the workshop.
