HSBC Accessibility

Overview

We adhere to the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines 2.0, a set of guidelines stipulated by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) used to ensure websites are designed and written in a way that makes them accessible to everyone.

  • We only use strong colour contrasts.
  • Headings are used correctly to make them readable through screen readers.
  • Links do what they say. We do not use 'click here'.
  • Tables are laid out in tabular form with headings and summaries.
  • We use style sheets to determine the presentation of our website - this assists those using screen reading devices.
  • Where we use images, we use alternative text so that those people who cannot see the image can read the text. These can be read by screen reading devices.
