# Tactile Charge Cards The Braille CC is Designed with the Blind in Mind By Michael Hines | Published 2011-03-08 | Lifestyle Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/braille-cc References: [yankodesign](http://www.yankodesign.com/2011/03/07/blind-cc-gets-refined/) Designer Young-suk Kim is aiming to aid sightless shopaholics with his new Braille CC. This credit card is designed similarly to previous braille credit cards featured on Trend Hunter, but with a few added adjustments. The best new feature of Kim's Braille CC is its [purchase display](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/payment-terminal-solutions). When a blind person makes a purchase, not only will their card repeat it to them, but it will also show the amount on the back in braille. This is a great feature to have as I can't imagine the built-in speakers of the Braille CC being too powerful. Kim's Braille CC represents a more polished version of past braille credit cards. It's great to see designers designing for the disabled.
