Digital Accessibility Must Take Center Stage in Finance
BOISE, ID, UNITED STATES, April 23, 2025 /

CurbCutOS, a digital accessibility services provider founded by people with disabilities, says that time is running out for financial organizations to meet the requirements of the European Accessibility Act (EAA). With the approaching deadline of June 28, 2025, acting now is essential to ensure compliance and embrace the opportunities accessibility offers.
The EAA introduces pivotal standards aimed at guaranteeing equitable access for people with disabilities. These standards encompass critical areas like online banking platforms, investment portals, mobile apps, and other digital tools vital to financial services. Not limited to European entities, the regulations also apply to international firms that offer products and services throughout Europe.
Why Accessibility is Key for Finance: Accessibility is more than meeting regulatory demands, it's a cornerstone of equitable service delivery and business growth. Over 1.85 billion people worldwide live with disabilities, representing a substantial portion of consumers who rely on accessible financial services. The EAA is a crucial step toward removing barriers, enabling individuals to manage investments, conduct secure transactions, and access resources seamlessly.
The Cost of Neglecting Compliance: For financial institutions, non-compliance carries significant risks. Legal penalties, potential exclusion from the European market, and damage to brand reputation are only the beginning. Solutions provided by CurbCutOS can help mitigate these risks by achieving accessibility. Additionally, companies may miss out on substantial opportunities to connect with a diverse and growing consumer base, threatening profitability and long-term viability.
Investing in Accessibility Pays Off: Accessible practices are not only the ethical choice, but they also yield financial benefits:
• Attracting a wider audience and expanding market reach.
• Enhancing customer satisfaction and loyalty through usability improvements.
• Reducing future expenditures on retrofitting inaccessible designs.
• Innovating solutions that foster resilience and adaptability in the digital finance landscape.
Act Now: Integrating accessibility into financial services may seem daunting, but proactive efforts like accessibility audits and adherence to universal design principles can ease the path to compliance. With CurbCutOS, financial organizations can navigate EAA requirements successfully while positioning themselves as leaders in inclusivity and innovation.
