Building financial services for everyone
Inclusive design is not just accessibility 2.0
Stop designing for the 'average user' - they don't exist.
To create a more inclusive future, it's critical that we design products and services that cater to as many people as possible.
That means thinking about the needs of a diverse group, and involving those people in the design process.
In this report, we'll give you the insight to create a more inclusive future for everyone.
How we break it down
Split into six sections, the report focuses on different aspects of inclusivity.

Designing for people with physical impairments
Building for people with a range of disabilities will open your product up to a wider audience.
