Overview
BayPort Credit Union is committed to providing a website that is as accessible as our branches. We have made our best efforts to implement the recommendations of the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) as published by the Web Accessibility Initiative (WAI) of the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C).
There is no single definitive test of conformance to Level AA of the WCAG. Still, we have used a variety of methods for assessing our level of compliance—including the use of leading tools that evaluate navigation, ARIA elements, screen-reader markup, keyboard accessibility, color contrast, visual cues, page structure, alternative text, link text, web content, and other best practices.
If you find a part of the site you feel does not conform to Level AA of the WCAG or are having difficulty getting the information you need, please let us know so we can rectify it.
Furthermore…
- BayPort Credit Union strives to make every page accessible to users but cannot guarantee that every page conforms to WCAG 2.0 Level AA.
- Some pages have partial conformance due to the use of third-party vendors. As such, BayPort Credit Union does not claim full site-wide conformance; instead, a partial conformance, as defined by WCAG Level AA 2.0. BayPort Credit Union cannot ensure the conformance of crucial third-party plugins and widgets.
- Our conformance claims only extend to pages within the BayPort Credit Union URL domain.
- BayPort Credit Union has used WCAG guidelines for conformance as suggested by the Department of Justice. Though some of the conformance found in WCAG conforms with 508 Compliance, we are not 508 Compliant.
- BayPort Credit Union chose to use WCAG for conformance because they are determined by the W3C, the consortium that makes the guidelines for the Internet, worldwide.
- BayPort Credit Union uses automated testing as a baseline for conformance but understands W3C’s position that “There is as yet no tool that can perform a completely automatic assessment on the checkpoints in the guidelines, and fully automatic testing may remain difficult or impossible.”
