BNZ digital divide report silent on challenges faced by neuro-diverse people

NZ PARLIAMENT Guy Pope-Mayell, the chairman of the Dyslexia Foundation of New Zealand, tells MPs how stressful internet banking can be for neuro-different people. A BNZ report claims 700,000 people risk being left behind in the internet age because they lack essential digital skills. The bank’s chief economist, Paul Conway, said so many people lacking digital skills threatened the promise of a more inclusive and sustainable economy.

Internet banking outcry: All banks should have a neuro-diverse person on their board

NZ PARLIAMENT Guy Pope-Mayell, the chairman of the Dyslexia Foundation of New Zealand, tells MPs how stressful internet banking can be for neuro-different people. Every bank should have a neuro non-typical person on their board, or their technology sub-committee, says the chairman of Dylsexia New Zealand, Guy Pope-Maxwell. MPs were told on Wednesday that the rush to ditch queues and close bank branches, and to force everyone to transact electronically was happening without consideration for as many as one million “neuro-diverse” people living with conditions like dyslexia and traumatic brain injuries. National MP Andrew Bayly petitioned the Finance and Expenditure Select Committee for an investigation into whether the headlong rush to online banking was creating barriers for people with a neuro-difference managing their money lives.
