Banking for Everyone, Everywhere
Arvest Mortgage is dedicated to providing an accessible digital banking experience for all customers, including those with disabilities. We follow established accessibility guidelines, offer specific features to aid usability, and actively seek feedback to ensure our online platforms are inclusive and easy to navigate for everyone.
Arvest Mortgage recognizes the importance of providing an inclusive digital environment where everyone can access our services without barriers. Our commitment to digital accessibility means designing and maintaining our websites and applications so they are usable by individuals with diverse abilities. This includes users who rely on assistive technologies such as screen readers, magnifiers, or voice control software.
We believe that access to financial services is a fundamental right, and our digital platforms are built with this principle in mind. This commitment extends beyond mere compliance; it reflects our core value of serving all members of our community. We continuously strive to ensure that every customer, regardless of their physical or sensory capabilities, can manage their mortgage, explore options, and interact with Arvest Mortgage effectively.
This dedication influences every stage of our digital development, from initial design concepts to ongoing updates and maintenance. We aim to create an experience that is not only functional but also intuitive and comfortable for all users, reinforcing our mission to provide exceptional service to everyone who chooses Arvest Mortgage.
To uphold our commitment, Arvest Mortgage rigorously adheres to established accessibility guidelines and standards. Our primary benchmark is the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 Level AA, published by the Web Accessibility Initiative (WAI) of the W3C. These guidelines provide a comprehensive framework for making web content more accessible to people with disabilities, covering aspects like perceivability, operability, understandability, and robustness.
By following WCAG 2.1 Level AA, Arvest Mortgage ensures that our digital platforms are not only compliant with recognized standards but also provide a genuinely inclusive experience for all our customers.
Arvest Mortgage implements a variety of features and design practices specifically aimed at enhancing accessibility across our digital platforms. These features are integrated to support users employing assistive technologies and to improve general usability for everyone.
"Accessibility is not just about compliance; it's about creating a truly inclusive user experience that respects the diverse needs of every individual."
For instance, all interactive elements on the Arvest Mortgage website are designed to be fully navigable using only a keyboard, which is crucial for users who cannot operate a mouse. We also ensure that our content includes proper heading structures, descriptive link text, and alternative text for images, allowing screen readers to accurately convey information to visually impaired users. Furthermore, our design team prioritizes clear, high-contrast color schemes and resizable text options to assist users with low vision or color blindness. These thoughtful design choices contribute significantly to a more accessible banking environment.
