Serve and Protect Credit Union has launched the Recite Me Accessibility Toolbar to provide an inclusive online experience for their members, helping them to access online content without barriers.
Website visitors can now access a wide range of accessibility and language support tools to customise their digital experience in a way that meets their unique requirements. This is an essential step in supporting over 25% of the UK population who may encounter barriers using digital services due to having a disability, learning difficulty, visual impairment, or if they speak English as a second language.
