Innovation improves our quality of life. Digitalization is also a great asset for facilitating access to public and private services. However, the digital transformation of the economy and society in which we are immersed must not exclude anyone. <\/p>\n
With this conviction, banks have taken measures in recent months to strengthen in-person assistance for the elderly in banking services and to guarantee financial inclusion throughout Spain. Because digitalization and geographical dispersion should not be an obstacle to accessing public and private services. <\/p>\n
For digitalization to be an advantage, everyone must embrace it according to their willingness and possibilities. Therefore, it is key to join forces to improve the digital skills of society and, especially, to strengthen public-private collaboration. A good example is the recent agreement reached by the AEB Foundation with the Somos Digital association. <\/p>\n
This very week, the president of the Platform for the Elderly and Pensioners shared his commitment to the digitalization of senior citizens at a public event, but also expressed his concern regarding an increasingly digital society.<\/p>\n
Indeed, an important part of digital training must be security. Combating cybercrime has become a priority for everyone: each of us has the responsibility to prevent and combat it within our own sphere and according to our capabilities. <\/p>\n
Digital banking operations are secure, but this effort must be shared by customers to protect their own data and act with caution.<\/p>\n
Digitalization is beneficial in many aspects, such as when making well-informed decisions to acquire goods, accessing private and public services quickly and easily, and, above all, communicating and interacting conveniently, immediately, and from anywhere.<\/p>\n
