Accessible Bankinter
A Bank for all
Embracing accessibility.
Bankinter welcomes everyone, regardless of their abilities, integrating them into the Bank’s daily operations and removing any barriers that may hinder access. Since 2005, with our “A bank for all” project, we have flagged people with disabilities as a priority stakeholder for us. We are committed to achieving the highest accessibility standards in order to meet Level AA criteria and continually improve the usability of our digital products.
Do you have a disability and need our help?
By developing remote channels and implementing cutting-edge technologies, we seek to offer a service accessible to any customer, anywhere.
We are committed to achieving the highest accessibility standards in order to meet Level AA criteria and continually improve the usability of our digital products.
Bankinter corporate website
The scope of all of the above includes the website https://www.bankinter.com/webcorporativa, except for embedded content from external domains. However, Bankinter and its third-party providers are actively committed to improving the accessibility of external content included on the website, with the aim of ensuring the most inclusive digital experience possible.
Accessibility status
Currently, this digital asset is aligned with the latest version of the UNE-EN 301 549 standard. Despite Bankinter’s best efforts, some pages may occasionally fail to comply with the requirements set out in the standard. If you encounter any difficulties, please contact us through the channels defined in this section.
Bankinter is implementing a continuous improvement plan to achieve an optimal level of accessibility that is sustainable over time, eliminating barriers to use. We are committed to making the necessary adaptations to ensure full compliance with digital accessibility requirements.
Criteria adopted
The Bank’s adaptation to accessibility needs has been carried out in compliance with the provisions of Law 11/2023 of 8 May, on the accessibility of certain products and services, to eliminate physical, sensory and cognitive barriers that could limit the full participation of all users.
The Bank likewise observes the most demanding standards in terms of universal accessibility, implementing the UNE-EN 301549:2019 standard to comply with digital accessibility of its website https://www.bankinter.com/webcorporativa
The features implemented to improve content accessibility include the following:
- (1.1.1) A thorough review of all significant images is currently under way to ensure that they have appropriate alternative (alt) text, therefore enabling access to the visual information for people with visual impairments.
- (1.2.2) Accurate captions are being validated for recorded videos, including not only dialogue but also contextual sounds such as music, effects or laughter.
- (1.2.3) The implementation of audio description or media alternative for all recorded videos is currently being assessed, ensuring that the visual content is accessible through other means.
- (1.3.1) Structural elements such as headers, field groupings, lists and tables are being audited to verify that visual relationships are also correctly reflected in the code..
- (1.4.1) Additional visual cues such as underlines, icons or explanatory text are being added to prevent colour from being the sole means of conveying information.
- (2.1.1) The development team is adapting all interactive components to ensure full keyboard functionality, allowing mouse-free navigation.
- (2.4.3) We are checking that the tab order is logical and consistent, allowing sequential navigation that does not alter the meaning or operation.
- (2.4.4) Link texts are being improved to make them more self-explanatory and understandable without additional context.
- (4.1.2) Work is under way to improve the semantic accessibility of all custom components, ensuring that they correctly convey their role, state and value to assistive technologies.
- (1.2.5) Alternative versions of the videos with integrated audio description are being prepared, or a second channel is offered to enable their activation, increasing the accessibility of the audiovisual content.
- (1.3.5) Appropriate autocomplete attributes are being incorporated into forms to improve the user experience, especially on mobile devices or in assisted access contexts.
- (1.4.5) The use of images of text is avoided, except in justified cases such as logos, and priority is always given to the use of actual accessible text.
- (1.4.10) All layouts are being validated to ensure that content adapts correctly to resize on small screens without the need for side scrolling.
- (2.4.7) All interactive elements are being reviewed to ensure that keyboard focus is always visible using clear and contrasting styles.
- (2.4.11) Ensure when an item gets keyboard focus, it is at least partially visible.
- (3.1.2) Lang attributes are being added to content fragments that are in a language other than the primary language, ensuring correct pronunciation by multilingual screen readers.
- (3.3.3) Error messages are being improved to include understandable suggestions to help correct the bug detected by the user.
- (4.1.3) The use of ARIA roles and accessible attributes is being properly implemented so that dynamic messages (such as errors, confirmations or alerts) are detected and reported by screen readers.
Preparation of this section
This information was prepared on 8 April 2025.
The method used to prepare it was a manual review, based on the requirements of the UNE-EN 301 549 standard, carried out by Everycode S.L. on 23 January 2025.
Everycode S.L. has an independent inspection unit accredited by ENAC (National Accreditation Entity) according to the requirements set forth in ISO/IEC 17020, for website and mobile application inspection activities under the UNE-EN 301 549 standard.
Date of last review: 8 April 2025.
To achieve the accessibility standards and comply with level AA, we have implemented the service for Integrated Digital Accessibility (SIA) through which we are taking comprehensive corrective action, including specialised training for our teams, systems for evaluating and continuously improving accessibility, and proactive actions on both our websites and our mobile applications, all with the ultimate goal of ensuring a truly universal and inclusive digital experience.
This system comprises the following actions:
-
Initial audit
-
Remediation of non-conformities
-
Incremental audit
Breaking down barriers
We offer personalised in-branch attention by our staff, who have received specific training to deliver inclusive and accessible treatment, an adapted space, and support tools to offer communication alternatives.
Bankinter has implemented a Universal Accessibility Management System (UAMS), with a clear commitment to providing all people who interact with Bankinter with facilities and resources that allow them to access its services in an accessible environment, regardless of their abilities.
This system has been certified according to the AENOR UNE 170001 Standard for Universal Accessibility. (in spanish)
More and more branches and buildings are being included in the certification, and in addition, the Property division's Building Work Handbook now includes accessibility criteria to ensure that any new work or refurbishment in the office network is carried out in accordance with these criteria.
Bankinter works closely with institutions and collectives
