The cost of waiting is already running
Legal exposure
The European Accessibility Act has been enforced since June 2025. Banking and payment interfaces are explicitly in scope, member-state fines reach into six figures (euros), and the first lawsuits have been filed. If EU consumers use your product, you are in scope.
Algorithmic risk
POPIA Section 71 governs automated decisions — onboarding, credit limits, fraud flags. Most providers cannot yet show the required transparency or human review. That gap is measurable, and closable.
Hidden waste
In our field experience, retrofitting an inaccessible system costs many times more than building it right — and every release without a baseline audit adds to the retrofit bill.
The exclusion tax
Persons with disabilities and their households are a substantial under-served market. Every inaccessible journey hands those customers — and their loyalty — to whoever fixes it first.
