Accessibility

Gini is committed to building inclusive, accessible technology. Our Bank SDK already largely followed the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.2 AAA and Apple’s accessibility best practices to support compliance with the Accessibility Strengthening Act (Barrierefreiheitsstärkungsgesetz - BFSG), taking effect in Germany on June 28, 2025.

We improved the Gini Bank SDK to ensure that:

  • all users - including those with visual, motor, or cognitive impairments - can fully access mobile banking services.

  • our Bank SDK is now fully compliant with (WCAG) 2.2 AAA

We’ve designed the SDK to work seamlessly with iOS accessibility features, so users who rely on these tools can fully interact with your app.

Key Accessibility Areas Currently Supported for Photo Payment and Skonto features:

  • VoiceOver: Enables users to navigate and interact with the interface without needing to see the screen.

  • Contrast: Text and UI elements meet contrast ratio requirements to ensure good readability.

  • Orientation: The SDK adapts seamlessly to both orientations - enhancing usability and delivering a consistent experience across all device layouts.

  • Dynamic Type: The SDK supports system text size adjustments, so users can scale content based on their preferences.

  • Display Customization: We support iOS system settings such as:

    • Bold Text

    • Increase Contrast

    • Reduce Transparency

    • Smart Invert

    • Differentiate Without Color

    • On/Off Labels

    • Button Shapes

    • Dark Mode

    • Reduce Motion

  • External Keyboard Support: Users can navigate and interact with the SDK using a hardware keyboard - improving accessibility for users with motor impairments.

  • System Settings Compatibility: Any accessibility preferences set at the iOS level (like color filters or zoom) are respected by the SDK and automatically applied.
