A Fintech Audit, Because Your Charts Have to Say the Numbers
For the fintech team that wants a blind customer to clear onboarding, read the dashboard, and move their own money without borrowing anybody's eyes.
What We Keep Finding
Open your own dashboard and count what exists only as a picture. The green against the red that means gain or loss. The sparkline that is the trend. The donut that is the allocation. None of that reaches a screen reader, and rule 1.4.1 has a name for the pattern, which is information carried by color alone. The cheerful half is that the fix is usually cheaper than teams expect. Put the labels and the values on the chart itself, or put the same figures in a table under it. That likely satisfies the graphics-contrast rule at the same time, because it excepts a graphic whose information is already available another way.
Onboarding sets the first gate and the hardest one. A know-your-customer flow stacks document uploads, a selfie check, and a clock, and one unlabeled field ends an application that took twenty careful minutes. The clock is the part worth looking at closely. The timing rule allows exactly three ways out. The limit is part of a real-time event, or extending it would break the activity, or it already runs longer than 20 hours. Security is not on that list, and security is the first thing a fintech reaches for.
Selling to consumers in the EU adds a layer, and two things decide whether it lands on you. The European Accessibility Act has applied since June 28, 2025 and consumer banking services are on its list, but each member state wrote its own transposing law, so the real answer is national rather than European. The other is size. A service provider employing fewer than 10 people, with turnover or a balance sheet total at or under 2 million euros, is exempt from the accessibility requirements outright. At 10 people you are not.
What We Check
- Finish onboarding with a screen reader, uploads and selfie step included
- Test every chart for a route to the same numbers that does not need eyes
- Check gains, losses, and alerts that speak only in color against rule 1.4.1
- Run the session clock the way a slow, careful, assisted user runs it
- Read transaction lists for order, totals, dates, and headers that actually speak
What You Get
Every service on this site runs the same three-pass engine: an automated scan, an expert review of all 55 WCAG 2.2 A and AA rules, and a hands-on session with a professional blind screen-reader user. You get one report with every finding screenshotted, ranked by user impact, and linked to its fix. Your team fixes, we verify: the re-audit is half price within 3 months.
The format is not a mystery either. Read the sample report before you spend anything.
The Honest Limit
One honest limit with two parts, and the second one is mechanical. We work in the sandbox or staging environment you provide, with test identities rather than real ones, and we never move a customer's money. Behavior that only exists in production needs a staging mirror before it can show up in a report. The mechanical part is which of our three passes reaches a locked-down environment. The expert review and the screen-reader session run against anything a browser can open, credentials included. The automated pass needs a public address on a standard web port, so on an internal hostname or an odd port it runs against production instead and the report says which pages got which passes.
What It Costs
Rapid Audit: $499, up to 10 pages you pick, report in 5 business days. Standard Audit: $1,499, up to 25 pages in 10 business days. Flat rates, no discovery calls, and a real blind screen-reader user on every engagement. Pick your pages. We bring the humans.
