1. Our commitment
Smart Money is built to be usable by people with disabilities, including people who use screen readers, keyboard-only navigation, screen magnification, voice control or reduced-motion settings.
We target conformance with the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.2 at Level AA, the standard referenced by the Accessibility for Ontarians with Disabilities Act, the Accessible Canada Act, and United States ADA Title III practice and Section 508.
2. What is in place today
- Semantic HTML with proper landmarks and a logical heading order on every screen.
- A skip-to-content link as the first focusable element on every page.
- Full keyboard operation of navigation, dialogs, menus and forms, with focus trapped inside modals and returned when they close.
- A visible high-contrast focus indicator on every interactive element.
- Accessible names on icon-only buttons, and labels programmatically associated with every form field.
- Errors announced to assistive technology, identified in text rather than colour alone, and accompanied by a suggested correction.
- Text contrast of at least 4.5:1 and interface component contrast of at least 3:1 in both light and dark themes.
- Layouts that reflow to 320 CSS pixels and support 200% text resize without loss of content.
- Touch targets of at least 24×24 CSS pixels, and 44×44 for primary mobile actions.
- Respect for the operating system's reduced-motion preference across all animation.
- Right-to-left support throughout, so the Hebrew interface is fully mirrored rather than bolted on.
- Charts paired with an accessible data table or text summary, so no information exists only as a picture.
3. Known limitations
We would rather list these than claim a conformance we have not verified:
- No independent third-party accessibility audit has been completed yet. Conformance below is self-assessed.
- Some complex data tables do not yet expose full row and column header relationships to screen readers.
- Imported PDF statements and any PDF you upload are outside our control and may not be tagged or readable.
- Some dense financial charts still rely on colour to distinguish more series than is ideal. Every chart is paired with an equivalent data table, so no information is lost — but the visual encoding could be clearer.
- Video content, if added, will ship with captions and transcripts; there is none today.
Each item has an owner and a target date in our internal accessibility backlog.
4. Tell us about a barrier
Email eliezereisenbach@gmail.com with the screen, what you were trying to do, and the assistive technology you use. We acknowledge within 2 business days and give a fix or a workaround within 15 business days, as the AODA feedback process requires.
If you need information from the app in another format — large print, plain text, or read to you over a call — ask and we will provide it at no charge.
5. If we do not resolve it
Ontario residents may contact the Accessibility Directorate of Ontario. Federally regulated matters go to the Accessibility Commissioner at the Canadian Human Rights Commission. In the United States, complaints under the ADA may be filed with the Department of Justice Civil Rights Division.
We would much rather hear from you first — we can usually fix a barrier faster than a complaint process can.
