Our Policy & Commitment
At FirstBank, we are fully committed to accessibility, diversity and inclusion. FirstBank is dedicated to making our products and services accessible to everyone, including people with disabilities. We have made a commitment to follow the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG levels A and AA) and we use the Accessible Rich Internet Applications (ARIA) specification. We are also firmly dedicated to complying with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA).
Digital Accessibility Statement
Our target accessibility standard is the W3C Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 Level A and Level AA. As we work towards meeting both these levels, we have dedicated considerable resources to our digital accessibility compliance effort, specifically directing appropriate resources to the individuals responsible for designing, developing and testing our websites and other digital content. Further, we are also ensuring that our support documentation and services are accessible, and that we are monitoring advocacy groups as well as working with vendors to identify areas in need of improvement. Relatedly, FirstBank is a regular participant at accessible technology conferences such as the California State University at Northridge's Conference on Technology and People with Disabilities (CSUN).

Tested Assistive Technology/Browser Combinations
