Website Accessibility

There is no single definitive test of conformance to Level AA of the WCAG but we have used a variety of methods for assessing our accessibility, not limited to but including physical tests using screen readers and keyboard only. PenAir is aware that our brand colors do not always meet conformance standards. If you find text on a page that you cannot read, please contact us so that we may provide the text in a more readable format.

If you find a part of the site that you feel does not conform to Level AA of the WCAG or are having difficulty getting the information you need, please use one of the methods below to let us know so that we can rectify it.

Our branches are designed to meet all federal, state and local standards for accessibility. Accessibility features at our branches include:

• Exterior: parking space sizes, signage, slopes and grading
• Interior: greeters stationed near the doors, accessible teller windows

Visitors who have difficulty entering or navigating our branches may ring the doorbell located outside of the entry way of all branch locations to request assistance from any employee. We also welcome service animals. For users with visual impairments, our ATMs offer tactile input controls with symbols, ascending/descending keypads with visual contrast, Braille instructions, a headset port with verbal instructions and speech mode controls. For any physical impairments, our LIVE machines offer convenient banking services from your vehicle with a live teller through two-way video chat directly on a screen.

Furthermore, PenAir Credit Union strives to make every page accessible to users, but cannot guarantee that every page conforms to WCAG 2.0 Level AA.

Some pages have partial conformance due to the use of 3rd party vendors. As such PenAir Credit Union does not claim full site-wide Conformance, as defined by WCAG Level AA 2.0. PenAir cannot ensure conformance of crucial third-party plug-ins and widgets.

Our conformance claims only extend to pages within the www.penair.org domain.

PenAir Credit Union has used WCAG guidelines for conformance as suggested by the Department of Justice. Though some of the conformance found in WCAG conforms with 508 Compliance, we are not 508 Compliant.

PenAir Credit Union chose to use WCAG for conformance because they are determined by the W3C’s position that ‘there is yet no tool that can perform a completely automatic assessment on the checkpoints in the guidelines, and fully automatic testing may remain difficult or impossible’.
