About 285 million people are visually impaired worldwide: 39 million are blind and 246 million have low vision (severe or moderate visual impairment) preventable cause are as high as 80% of the total global visual impairment burden.Globally, uncorrected refractive errors are the main cause of visual impairment.Cataracts are the leading cause of blindness 65% of visually impaired, and 82% of blind people are over 50 years of age, although this age group comprises only 20% of the world population [1].Blindness can be classified into 3 types, Complete blindness, Night blindness, Color blindness.The main problems faced by blind people: during financial transactions especially in ATMs.In the existing ATMs, Braille is inscribed on the keypad to facilitate blind.But, What if the people doesn't know Braille, how to insert a card?The friend accompanying him might get to know the password or someone else can come to know of his pin number.A stranger might try to help the blind win the trust and rob him.So, we propose to design and develop a safer and secure ATM accessing system for the blind.
