WCAG 4.1.3 Status Messages

The OP Cash Pool and Virtual Accounts service contains several accessibility issues, including that the service lacks reflow (navigation is particularly difficult using mobile devices) and does not provide screen reader users with clear error messages and feedback on the user’s commands. The service’s input fields lack labels, selection buttons and other interrelated fields are not connected with one another, and some instruction texts are not programmatically linked to the respective field. In addition, there are issues with graphical objects, the positioning of buttons and usability, such as moving focus to fields, transitions and the readability of tables, in particular. In several situations, selecting to go back does not return the user to the previous page. Focus is repositioned to the top of the page after a search, making it difficulty to find the search results. There are issues with page headings and the menu, tabs are not marked, the language of the page and parts of the page is not programmatically determined, and links to jump directly to the content are missing from the top of each page. Links are also placed inside tables, making it harder to understand the content as a whole. After a session time limit, the user is logged out of the system without warning. These issues are listed in more detail below.

Content which is not accessible on the basis of disproportionate burden

Bank statement and Balance and interest certificate for account in Accounts service is planned for redesign in 2024. For this reason, accessibility changes will not be made for the current application and any accessibility issues will be corrected when the application is redesigned. The corrections will be carried out during the year 2024.

The results of the audit of the OP Cash Pool and Virtual Accounts service have been reviewed and all serious non-conformities in the user interface will be corrected. Some proposed changes, such as some translations, are rooted deep in the business service and would require fundamental changes to the service’s operational logic. Some of the necessary changes will be taken into consideration when redesigning customer user experience. In addition, a Java-based version of the service, including a new user interface, is currently under development. Observations made in the audit will be taken into account in the development.
