Compliance status
The nordea.com website is partially compliant with the accessibility requirements.
Non-accessible content
The website is not yet fully accessible in the following identified areas. The goal is to have some of the identified gaps fixed during 2025, unless otherwise stated below. The following content and/or functions do not yet meet the accessibility requirements:
Color contrast
A few types of text content has too low contrast to the background, especially on image backgrounds, and a few graphics and interactive elements have too low contrast to surrounding colors as well.
This relates to the WCAG success criteria 1.4.3 Info and Relationships.
Text alternatives for images
Complex images like tables and diagrams do in some cases not present equivalent information in an accessible way.
This relates to the WCAG success criteria 1.1.1 Non-Text Content.
Heading structure
The visual heading hierarchy is not always reflected in the code. In a few places, visual headings might not be marked up in a way, that they will be picked up as headings by a screen reader, and sometimes the visual hierarchy and the semantic hierarchy diverges. Empty headings might appear in the code in certain content types. We are working on fixing this, but as long as the headings are completely empty, they will be ignored by screen readers.
This relates to the WCAG success criteria 1.3.1 Info and Relationships and 2.4.6 Headings and Labels.
Tables
In some tables, the table headers are not marked up correctly as such, which makes it more difficult to make sense of the table when using a screen reader.
This relates to the WCAG success criteria 1.3.1 Info and Relationships.
Non-specific links
Some pages that contain lists of content have have links with identical link texts that leads to different content. We are working on making these links more specific.
This relates to the WCAG success criterion 2.4.4 Link purpose (In Context).
Podcasts
Currently there is no transcript or text alternative for our podcasts.
This relates to the WCAG success criterion 1.2.1 Audio-only and Video-only (Prerecorded).
Video content
Video content might lack subtitles, and in some cases also audio descriptions of the visual content in the video.
This relates to the WCAG success criteria 1.2.2 Captions (Prerecorded), 1.2.4 Audio Description or Media Alternative (Prerecorded) and 1.2.5 Audio Description (Prerecorded).
PDF documents
We are currently in the process of making all PDF documents compliant with the accessibility requirements. We have identified gaps relating to PDFs and disclosed them. Our goal is, however, that all PDFs published on our website after 23 September 2018 comply with the accessibility requirements.
Content for which we invoke a disproportionate burden
None

- Office software files (for example doc, pdf and odt) published before 23 September 2018.
