Accessibility Statement

At Fourthline, we strive to ensure that our services are accessible to everyone, regardless of ability. We are committed to delivering an inclusive user experience for all customers, including those with visual, auditory, motor, or cognitive impairments.

Compliance standards

We aim to meet the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.2 Level AA across all our services. To support your experience, we:

Use plain and accessible language wherever possible to make our services easy to understand.
Ensure that text and images are legible, using clear contrast and readable fonts. If content appears small by default, we support zoom and reflow, so you can enlarge it without losing functionality.
Do not rely on color alone to convey meaning - important information is always supported by text or other visual cues.

To support accessibility across our services, we:
Add alt text for all non-text content
Structure pages with logical tab order and smooth keyboard navigation
Use high-contrast colors and support adjustable text sizes
Provide clear, descriptive links and labels
Avoid requiring precise or complex gestures
Support screen readers, voiceover tools, and keyboard-only operation
Minimize time pressure during tasks wherever feasible
Design accessible forms, buttons, dialogs, and error messages compatible with assistive technologies
Test our services regularly to ensure compliance with WCAG 2.2 Level AA
Stay up to date with legal changes and emerging assistive technologies to keep our services compliant
Actively listen and respond to your feedback if you encounter accessibility challenges

Fourthline Voluntary Product Accessibility Template (VPAT)

This report is based on version 2.5 of the WCAG VPAT Template created by the Information Technology Industry Council (ITI).

Overview

Evaluation Date: June 2025

Service Description: Fourthline helps financial institutions verify your identity securely and in line with AML laws.

During onboarding, we perform required checks, such as verifying your facial features or assessing the authenticity of your ID documents.

If needed, we also work with a Qualified Trust Service Provider (QTSP) for electronic signatures (QES).

In addition, we will provide you with our KYC Vault service (as defined below). This entails that we store the data we obtain from you during the onboarding process in a secure and encrypted digital vault. This enables us and the Financial Institution to remain compliant with AML obligations in the future without having to ask you to go through a new onboarding procedure.

These services are delivered under a legal agreement that begins when you accept our terms and conditions.
