Background

This project presents a comprehensive GenAI-powered solution designed to address a critical accessibility gap in Singapore’s banking and finance sector. Deaf and hard-of-hearing users continue to face systemic barriers—particularly when resolving fraud alerts or accessing their accounts—due to voice-dependent verification protocols and the absence of inclusive, alternative support channels.

The solution introduces a dedicated Deaf Mode with an AI-powered chatbot, fraud assistant for dispute resolution and form automation, and visual identity verification aligned with MAS guidelines. These features aim to reduce support wait times, cut operational costs, and restore autonomy to Deaf users—while enhancing accessibility, compliance, and trust across the banking experience.
