Digital accessibility consists of designing and maintaining websites, mobile applications, and digital communication services in such a way that they are accessible to all users, including persons with disabilities.
Accessible digital content must be:
Perceivable (visually and audibly),
Operable (usable via different input methods),
Understandable, and
Compatible with assistive technologies.
Digital accessibility addresses a wide range of disabilities that may affect the use of online services, including physical, sensory, cognitive, mental, and psychological impairments, whether permanent or temporary.
At Kredimo, digital accessibility is a core and ongoing priority throughout the design, development, and maintenance of our websites, mobile applications, and digital services made available to clients, partners, and the public.
Accessibility considerations are integrated from the earliest stages of design and continue throughout the lifecycle of our digital services, with the objective of ensuring equal access, usability, and inclusion for all users.
Kredimo aligns its accessibility approach with Directive (EU) 2019/882 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 17 April 2019, commonly referred to as the European Accessibility Act, and with its national transposition into Portuguese law.
This directive establishes accessibility requirements for products and services intended for private consumers and refers to compliance with the harmonised European standard EN 301 549, which defines accessibility criteria for digital content, websites, and mobile applications.
To ensure compliance with applicable accessibility regulations, Kredimo has established internal processes and governance mechanisms dedicated to digital accessibility, including:
Identification and inventory of digital services covered by accessibility obligations
Awareness, training, and guidance initiatives for teams involved in design, development, and content creation
Integration of accessibility requirements at each stage of content production and service development
Continuous internal monitoring to ensure sustainable compliance
Accessibility is treated as a shared responsibility across all relevant teams.
Kredimo conducts periodic accessibility assessments of its digital services based on recognized evaluation frameworks aligned with EN 301 549 standards.
Audit results are documented internally and used to:
Identify areas for improvement
Correct accessibility issues in a timely manner
Enhance user experience for all users
Where applicable, accessibility statements are published to inform users about the level of compliance and implemented measures.
An accessibility audit makes it possible to assess the level of conformity of a digital service with a given reference standard.
Accessibility statements describe:
The evaluation methodology used
The level of compliance achieved
Any known limitations and corrective actions
Accessibility statements may be published for Kredimo’s websites, customer portals, and mobile applications as they become available.
Kredimo websites feature a consistent main navigation menu, available in the same position across all pages, enabling users to easily access different sections of the site.

Each page follows a consistent structure:
Content is structured using appropriate heading levels, which:
Improve understanding through hierarchical organization
Allow screen readers to generate summaries of page content

Keyboard-accessible, and
Compatible with screen readers, such as JAWS or NVDA
