Village Bank Accessibility Statement

Village Bank is committed to making our website accessible to all, including people with disabilities. We are continuously improving the service we provide through an app to comply with increased accessibility standards and guidelines and to improve everyone's browsing experience.

Conformance status

The app uses the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG), which define requirements to improve accessibility for people with disabilities. It describes three levels of conformance: Level A, Level AA, and Level AAA. the Accessibly App available on our website follows the best guidelines and is partially conformant with WCAG 2.0 level AA.

App features

The Accessibly App installed on our website allows the website to be adjusted with keyboard navigation using the “tab” key (WCAG 2.1/2.1.1). Additionally, see the list of all provided Accessibly App features and tools for a better website experience:

Zoom | WCAG 2.1 / 1.4.4

This feature enables users to enhance the size of the text to up to three times the original text for better text readability.

Invert colors
