The service is part of op.fi, which is the website for OP Financial Group companies. The accessibility of the Electronic Signature service has been assessed by accessibility experts working for OP Financial Group on a project basis and by means of self-assessment of web accessibility.
The following methods were used in the self-assessment:
- Test results from the Axe test automation library have been analysed
- Accessibility has been tested using the Chrome web browser and NVDA screen reader software
The requirements on accessibility are listed in the Act on the Provision of Digital Services.
Identification is also an integral part of the Electronic Signature process. Accessibility of the identification service is described in a separate accessibility statement. The accessibility statement for identification services is available here.
This accessibility statement was created on 16 November 2020 and last updated on 9 February 2024.
Accessibility of the digital service
OP’s Electronic Signature service is partially accessible.
A professional assessment of the service’s accessibility on 11 November 2020 found shortcomings in sixteen of the Level AA criteria of the WCAG 2.1 standard, with 69% of the observations categorised as very high or critical in severity.
In the event that accessibility barriers prevent the use of an electronic signature, the document can be printed and signed at a bank branch.
