Our Commitment to Accessibility
InternationalMoneyTransfer.com is committed to ensuring that our website is accessible to as many people as possible, regardless of disability, assistive technology, or browsing environment. We believe that access to clear, unbiased financial comparison information is a right, not a privilege, and that means making our content available to everyone.
We aim to conform to the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 at Level AA — the internationally recognised standard for web accessibility. These guidelines explain how to make web content more accessible to people with a wide range of disabilities, including visual, auditory, physical, cognitive, and neurological conditions.
Accessibility is an ongoing commitment, not a one-time project. We regularly audit our site, incorporate user feedback, and update our practices as standards evolve. If you encounter any barriers, we want to hear from you.
Conformance Status
Our current WCAG 2.1 compliance status and testing schedule.
Partially Conformant
Partially conformant means that some parts of the content do not fully conform to the accessibility standard. We are actively working to resolve known issues — see the Known Issues section below for details.
Technical Approach
Our site is built with Next.js and React using semantic HTML5 elements throughout. We use Tailwind CSS with design tokens that meet colour contrast requirements. All new features undergo accessibility review before release.
