ADA Compliance Guide

Banking ADA Compliance Guide 2026

Understand the ADA and WCAG 2.1 AA expectations that apply to banking sites, plus the most common issues we find in scans.

Industry-specific ADA requirements

  • Account dashboards must be accessible
  • Secure flows should work without a mouse
  • Sensitive alerts must be announced to screen readers

Common accessibility issues

  • Custom controls without ARIA labels
  • Time-out warnings not announced
  • Low contrast on transaction tables
  • Focus trapped in authentication modals

Lawsuit risk

Current lawsuit exposure for this industry is considered high. Businesses in higher-risk categories should prioritize audits and remediation to reduce ADA complaints.

Compliance checklist

  • Use native form controls for security flows
  • Add aria-live status messages for alerts
  • Ensure tables have proper headers
  • Verify contrast on balances and alerts
  • Test keyboard access to all account actions
