It's vital that Investec is accessible to all, and that includes our website. Here's how our website is designed to be usable for everyone.

Our aim is to provide a seamless user experience by implementing or continually improving the following measures:

• Using descriptive hyperlink text
• Choosing web colour contrasts that are easy to see
• Ensuring the website can be navigated with all major screen reader software
• Ensuring keyboard operability
• Allowing for browser zoom support
• Providing transcripts or captions/subtitles for multimedia content like videos and podcasts
