Digital Accessibility in the Finance Sector Reimagined
The finance sector stands for trust, responsibility, and innovation. Starting in 2025, the Accessibility Strengthening Act (BFSG) requires barrier-free digital services. Violations can be costly.
Accessibility for Banks & Financial Services
The Accessibility Strengthening Act (BFSG) also impacts digital offerings in finance: whether online banking, loan calculators, or insurance portals – as of June 2025, these must be accessible. With SiteCockpit, you implement requirements simply, efficiently, and compliant with the law – and deliver a first-class, inclusive user experience.

What Does Digital Accessibility Mean?
Accessibility (engl. accessibility) means: your website works for everyone.
In a sector like finance, digital inclusion isn’t just mandatory—it’s a competitive advantage.
Requirements are based on the EU WCAG 2.2 (Level AA) and fall under four core principles:
1. Perceivability
Clear contrasts, alt text, and scalable fonts for online banking and financial portals.
2. Operability
Keyboard navigation, focus indicators, and large click areas for all applications.
3. Understandability
Plain language, clear navigation, and understandable error messages.
4. Robustness
Compatibility with screen readers, clean HTML, and ARIA roles.

Risk: revenue losses, legal warnings, reputational damage
-
Opportunity: new customer segments, greater reach, legal compliance
Concern grows over fines, legal warnings, and reputational damage when regulations like the BFSG are ignored. At the same time, accessibility offers the chance to build trust and reach new customer segments.
SiteCockpit helps identify and optimize common pain points—unreadable contract documents, hard-to-use online banking areas, or complex application flows. The result: greater reach, higher customer satisfaction, and a future-proof market position.
Accessibility is not a burden but a real success factor in an increasingly digital finance world.
