Digital accessibility
Statement from Keytrade Bank - June 2025
Keytrade Bank is committed to making its digital services accessible to everyone, including people with disabilities, in accordance with Directive (EU) 2019/882 on the accessibility requirements for products and services. In Belgium, this directive will come into effect on 28 June 2025.
This accessibility statement applies to the Website of Keytrade Bank as well as the Mobile Application.
Conformity Status
We are continuously working to gain a more detailed understanding of the difficulties our customers with disabilities may face. There are still several requirements we do not fully meet at this time. We list them below, though the list is not exhaustive.
Following an accessibility audit conducted in collaboration with the agency Craftzing, Keytrade Bank Website as well as the Mobile Application are partially compliant with the accessibility criteria, and we are making every effort to comply with the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.2, level AA.
These criteria define a set of technical best practices aimed at making digital content accessible to people with disabilities — particularly regarding keyboard navigation, color contrast, readability, compatibility with screen readers, and text alternatives for visual elements.
