Accessibility and inclusion

Empowering your business with user-friendly digital solutions

Commitment to accessibility

Managing finances, making payments, or buying tickets online is essential today. However, millions struggle to access these services due to disabilities. Digital accessibility ensures everyone can use websites and services, regardless of ability or environment.

Inclusive digital experiences ensure no one is left behind. From project inception, we focus on providing equal access to content on websites and apps. This involves designing adaptable interfaces and using multiple modalities like audio and visual cues. High-contrast color palettes help users with vision impairments. Prioritizing these elements ensures accessible and seamless user experiences, aligning with our mission to create trusted digital solutions that improve lives globally.

Accessibility in Digital Banking and payments

Our AI banking assistants are transforming financial services by making them accessible to a diverse audience. Key features include:

  • Breaking language barriers
  • Adapting to usability needs

These assistants ensure that everyone can fully utilize banking services in a way that suits their individual needs, fostering a more inclusive financial environment. Our commitment to responsible AI means prioritizing inclusivity and accessibility in all our technological advancements.

PSD3 compliance and inclusivity

User-centered payment authentication

Our dedication to accessibility starts with our continuous improvement of the 3DS challenge screens for secure digital payment transactions . By adhering to the latest UX/UI design guidelines from the EMV 3DS 2.3.1 protocol, we ensure our screens on web and mobile devices are secure and accessible. Our enhancements include:
