Payment accessibility statement

This statement concerns the accessibility of the Payments service at op.fi. The service is part of op.fi, which is the website for OP Financial Group companies.

Accessibility observations concerning file transfers can be found in the file transfer accessibility statement.

Accessibility observations concerning the SEPA direct debit permission are available in the SEPA direct debit accessibility statement.

The accessibility of the Payments 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 systems have been used in the self-assessments:

  • Accessibility on desktop computers has been tested using the Chrome web browser and NVDA screen reader software.
  • Accessibility on mobile devices has been tested using Apple devices, the Safari web browser (touch gestures).

The provisions on accessibility are included in the Act on the Provision of Digital Services.

This accessibility statement was drawn up on 11 December 2020 and last updated on 24 July 2024.

Accessibility of the digital service

The Payments service at op.fi meets the requirements in part. The consent to SEPA direct debit meets the requirements in all respects. The service 'Transfer to own account' meets the requirements in all respects.

You can make payments through the OP Accessible online service, which meets the accessibility requirements.

Non-accessible content in the service

New payment, Payment templates, Unconfirmed payments and Confirmed payments meet the requirements in part. The pages indicated above include the following accessibility issues: page colour contrasts do not meet accessibility requirements, the pages do not fully support the use of assisting technologies, such as screen readers, and there are problems in reading their content when using assisting technologies. Page accessibility issues are listed in more detail below. 

The issues are currently being fixed and the statement will be updated as the fixes are completed.

Accessibility of the e-invoicing service

  • Order e-invoices, partly accessible 
  • Proposed e-invoices, partly accessible 
  • Received e-invoices, fully accessible
  • Original invoice and invoice itemisation, partly accessible 

Function-specific requirements are discussed in more detail below. 

Non-accessible content

Manage e-invoices, Order e-invoices, Proposed e-invoices and Original invoice partly fulfil accessibility requirements. The above-mentioned pages do not fully support assistive technologies, such as screen readers, and problems occur when reading content while using assistive technologies.

Accessibility issues that would be a disproportionate burden to fix

In the e-invoicing service, the image of the original invoice is provided by the invoicer. As such, OP cannot ensure that the image of the original invoice meets accessibility requirements. The invoice specification is based on the commonly used Finvoice standard. The invoicer provides the content of the invoice.

Content that is not within the scope of digital accessibility standards

The original invoice sent by the payee, the accessibility of which is the responsibility of the payee.

State of accessibility of the service for redeeming a money transfer

The service for redeeming a money transfer partly meets the requirements. Non-compliance with the requirements and the applicable exemptions are listed below. 

Non-accessible content

Redeeming a money transfer partly meets the requirements. The page does not fully support assistive technologies, such as screen readers, and problems occur when reading content while using assistive technologies. Page accessibility issues are listed in more detail below. 

Redeeming a money transfer is also possible by phone with OP Customer Service and at OP cooperative bank branches.
