Why accessibility matters in financial services
Customers face digital barriers
Many people still can’t access online banking tools, loan applications, or investment platforms with assistive technologies.
Barriers in navigation or readability directly affect financial inclusion and customer satisfaction.
Manual audits don’t scale
Financial websites and portals evolve constantly with new services, campaigns, and rate updates.
One-time accessibility checks quickly become outdated, leaving institutions exposed to ongoing compliance risk.
Non-compliance risks legal and financial penalties
The European Accessibility Act and national regulations require WCAG 2.2 AA compliance by 2025.
Failing to meet these standards can lead to fines, reputational damage, and regulatory enforcement.
Inaccessible content blocks access
Online forms, service pages, and help sections must be accessible to every customer.
Missing labels, poor contrast, or unclear structure can prevent users from managing their finances or completing transactions.
Complex digital ecosystems add risk
Banks, insurers, and investment firms manage multiple websites, regions, and language versions.
Monitoring accessibility manually across all of them is inefficient and error-prone.
Trust drives loyalty
Financial relationships depend on transparency and confidence.
Accessible digital experiences strengthen trust and ensure every customer can manage their finances independently.
