Digital Accessibility
Multi-year accessibility plan 2026-2027
Sumeria app (iOS & Android)
1. Sumeria’s commitment to accessibility
Sumeria is committed to making its mobile financial services accessible to all, in accordance with Article 47 of Law No. 2005-102 of February 11, 2005. Our goal is to ensure that every user, regardless of disability, can manage their finances independently, smoothly, and securely.
2. Strategy and Management
Accessibility is not considered a one-off project, but rather a process of continuous improvement integrated into our software development lifecycle (SDLC).
- Accessibility Representative: A Compliance and Accessibility Manager oversees the roadmap.
- Privacy & Accessibility by Design approach: Accessibility is integrated from the design phase onwards.
3. Detailed action plan
The actions are divided into three pillars: Governance & Training, Development & Design, and Audit & Compliance.
