Accessibility

Santander Bank is committed to serving all customers, including those with disabilities. We offer a variety of services to help with your banking needs.

Web Accessibility 

We update our website to meet generally recognized and accepted guidelines and standards for website accessibility. Santander works with a third-party accessibility solutions provider so that our website achieves substantial conformance with Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG 2.0 and 2.1 AA) when used with popular standard assistive technology applications and web browsers. Our third-party provider provides automated accessibility solutions on our public website. Importantly, no personal or financial information is accessed by our third-party accessibility solutions provider.

We recommend using the most current version of the manufacturer’s assistive technology applications, along with a current version of your internet browser. We encourage you to try various browsers with assistive technology to determine the best combination for you. We are also committed to designing and maintaining our website to be accessible to individuals with disabilities as part of our purpose to provide equal access to our products and services regardless of abilities. We support a variety of screen reader applications. To learn how you can obtain a screen reader or other assistive technology, you should visit the individual manufacturers’ sites. You may also have access to assistance from state or local agencies.  

Adjusting Browser [Text Size]

Your Internet browser allows you to change the accessibility setting to adjust the text size. To adjust the text in most browsers, please try the following instructions: Go to “Tools” -> “Internet Options...” Click “Accessibility” Check “Ignore font sizes specified on Web pages” Click “OK” Click “OK”. The browser will then respond to the “View” -> “Text size” changes.

You can also adjust the zoom level of your browser by either using the key commands “Control + / Command +” to zoom in or “Control - / Command -“ to zoom out or using the zoom option in your browser's menu. Our third party accessibility solution when enabled will increase the zoom level to 200% and add a “+” and “-“ button to the bottom left of your browser window.
