Website Accessibility

We strive to make our website as accessible as our branches.

If you are experiencing difficulty accessing content on this site, please do not hesitate to contact 1.800.462.5000. We will work with you to ensure that you have access to the publicly available content on the site.

We have implemented the recommendations of the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) as published by the Web Accessibility Initiative (WAI) of the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C).

We have used WCAG guidelines for compliance as suggested by the U.S. Department of Justice for website accessibility. We chose to use WCAG for compliance because they are determined by the W3C, the consortium that determines development standards for the Internet, worldwide.

There is no definitive test nor certification of conformance to Level AA of the WCAG but we have used a variety of methods for assessing accessibility. We strive to make every page accessible to users but cannot guarantee that every page is Level AA compliant. If you find a part of the site that you feel does not conform to Level AA of the WCAG or if you are using assistive technology and are having difficulty, please contact us.
