Web Site Accessibility Standards

There are no uniformly-accepted standards that determine the accessibility to web site-based services for persons with disabilities.  The Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 (“ADA”) provides safe-harbors for providing accessibility to physical banking locations. Proposed ADA rulemaking addresses the requirements for making goods, services, facilities, privileges and accommodations via the internet.
