No Longer a Matter of If: Why Digital Accessibility is The Path Forward

We're experiencing a world-wide demographics shift towards disability. Between an aging Baby Boom generation and a younger population in which disability will become a growing factor, this is an inescapable fact. Websites and mobile environments can foster inclusion and offer accessibility for those of us living with disabilities. They are also a legal requirement which can make, or break, the success of a financial institution.

An accessible website and banking systems will become crucial to staying in business. This session will conclude with:

How to “bake” accessibility into your financial website and mobile design planning and updating processes
Key attributes of accessible digital design and structure
Ways to ensure that your digital content is truly accessible
Special considerations for financial customers who live with disabilities
