Accessibility statement for PAY360 website
This accessibility statement applies to our payments processing platform PAY360.

This website is partially compliant with the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines version 2.2 AA standard, due to the non-compliances listed below.
Non-accessible content
The content listed below is non-accessible for the following reasons:
Non-compliance with the accessibility regulations
Webpages
- One table has not been marked up correctly, and some hint text is not properly associated with links. This fails WCAG 2.2 success criterion 1.3.1 Info and Relationships.
- Some content does not reflow correctly when viewed at high browser magnification. This means people with visual impairments may be unable to access some content. This fails WCAG 2.2 success criterion 1.4.10 Reflow.
- Visual indicators for user interface components, such as keyboard focus, do not always have sufficient contrast. This fails WCAG 2.2 success criterion 1.4.11 Non-text Contrast.
- Some labels for form controls and interactive elements are not descriptive. This fails WCAG 2.2 success criterion 2.4.6 Headings and Labels.
- Some buttons are incorrectly set as submit actions, and some user interface elements move on to the next step without user confirmation. This does not meet WCAG 2.2 success criterion 3.2.2 On Input.
- Some forms are missing clear instructions on how to fill them out. This fails WCAG 2.2 success criterion 3.3.2 Labels or Instructions.
Some form field inputs do not have an autocomplete feature. This makes it harder for users to fill out forms, especially those with cognitive impairments. This fails WCAG 2.2 success criterion 1.3.5 Identify Input Purpose.
For security reasons, the autocomplete attribute has been set to “off” , the supplier does not plan to rectify this.
What we’re doing to improve accessibility
We are currently working with the provider to enhance the accessibility of this website. We have open tickets with the provider and aim to resolve some of these issues by late 2025.
