HSBC and Digital Accessibility
We are working towards becoming the world’s most digitally accessible bank. We’re harnessing the power of technology to provide a great digital experience for everyone, especially people with disabilities and those who are neurodivergent.
Banking without barriers
Malintha Fernando, Global Head of Digital Experience and Accessibility at HSBC, spells out his mission to transform our products and services for customers and employees alike.
Staying ahead
Whether it’s a new service, a new digital accessibility feature or a new way of doing things, we’re always looking to innovate.
Testing our tech
Our products go through the ultimate accessibility test – real people. Three users with different needs put our new ATMs through their paces.
Boosting Zoom
When our colleague Joanne was exposed to seizure-inducing material in a video call, we worked with the platform to prevent it happening again.
Talking talent
Two colleagues with very different life experiences share the role they play in making our recruitment practices more accessible.
Sharing our expertise
We want to blaze a trail for others to follow and – ultimately – raise accessibility standards for everyone, everywhere.

We’re offering 1,000 people outside HSBC the chance to take part in our training – for free.
