Accessibility statement for the general sections of the nordeafinance.fi website, a digital service of Nordea

This accessibility statement applies to the general sections of the nordearahoitus.fi website with respect to its technical properties as well as its visual and text content. This statement was published on 30 December 2020. The service is subject to the Finnish Act on the Provision of Digital Services, which requires the websites of credit institutions to be accessible. We have conducted a self-assessment of the accessibility of the service with regard to, among other things, its visual and text content, and the technical properties of the service’s accessibility have been assessed by a service provider specialising in accessibility

Accessibility status of the digital service

This service is partially compliant with the accessibility requirements. Below is a list of the shortcomings we are aware of in the general content on nordeafinance.fi. ‘Content’ refers to the texts, images, videos and surveys on the nordeafinance.fi website and to its technical platform. There are accessibility gaps in the attachment files on the nordearahoitus.fi website, and they will be fixed during 2021. Please note that, with current technology, PDF files should mainly be downloaded to your computer in order for screen readers to be able to access them. The website contains, for example, calculators and application forms the accessibility of which may have been assessed in separate statements. The accessibility statements for the separate forms can be found at nordearahoitus.fi/saavutettavuus. The identified shortcomings are planned to be fixed during 2021, unless stated otherwise. The statement will be updated as issues are resolved.
