Argyle is working hard to ensure our tools provide inclusive financial experiences in compliance with the highest industry standards.
Argyle is proud to announce that Argyle Link—which allows consumers to instantly share their income and employment data with lenders and other financial service providers—has been found to meet all requirements under the Americans With Disabilities Act (ADA). It also conforms with all technical standards recommended by the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG).
This milestone is a testament to our efforts to provide inclusive experiences across our platform and to ensure consumers can easily access the financial support systems they need and deserve.
Below, we break down what our ADA compliance means—and how it’s helping to secure a fairer financial future.
What is web accessibility?
The U.S. Department of Justice outlines how web accessibility barriers can make it difficult for people with disabilities to obtain the information they need online. That’s why the ADA requires organizations serving the public—including state and local governments, healthcare services, and financial institutions, among others—to comply with certain web accessibility criteria.
For example, if a website doesn’t provide sufficient color contrast, those with limited vision will be unable to distinguish its text and images from the background of the page. Similarly, if an online video doesn’t include closed captions, those with limited hearing will be unable to follow its content.
When designing Argyle Link, we took care to address such accessibility challenges upfront, and we’ll continue to keep accessibility in mind with any future product updates and added features.
Argyle’s commitment to accessibility
For years, Argyle’s core mission has been to make it easier for consumers to access and share their own income and employment data. Validating our ADA and WCAG compliance is our latest step toward ensuring these benefits extend to everyone.
You can review the Argyle Link accessibility conformance reports for iOS and Android in Argyle’s Trust Center, where you’ll also find transparent information on our data security practices and industry certifications.
