A look at online banking accessibility in the EU and the USA

Abstract

Information Systems become the necessary tool for financial organisations. Online banking is now more than an ideal environment for standard banking transactions because it provides customers an easy access to a wider range of services and allows them to deliver more timely and cost-effective services around the clock.

This paper reports on the e-Accessibility standards of online banking services and identified that despite standards and guidelines set by the international agencies like W3C many websites still fall short of e-Accessibility
