If you use one of Credit Bureau Connection's online web applications you may have noticed the wheelchair icon at the bottom right of the application. CBC was the first in the industry to implement Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) Compliance on all online web apps. If you are not using CBC as your online web application for hard-pulls, soft-pulls, or both, contact us today to get started.
The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) was developed in 1990 and is meant to ensure that people with disabilities have the same opportunities as anyone else. This means any businesses that serve the public must make sure their building accommodates people with disabilities of various kinds. And now that the internet is so widely used, ADA compliance also applies to websites and even mobile apps. Basically, this means that your website needs to be accessible to people who have disabilities that affect their hearing, vision, or physical capacities.
Recently, a ruling has been passed declaring the official standard of website accessibility for businesses. Title III of the ADA has mandated that all “places of public accommodation” are required by law to remove any “access barriers” that would inhibit a person with disabilities from accessing the business’ goods or services.
The ADA accessibility provided by CBC only works within the iFramed web application. You are still responsible for making the rest of your website ADA compliant. Feel free to contact CBC with any questions regarding ADA compliance.
Simplify data input and eliminate typos with predictive address auto-complete in eCredit Complete. This feature is also available on both the eCredit Online Credit Application and the eQualify Online Prequalification Application to make data entry easier and more accurate. Contact CBC if you'd like to add this feature at no additional cost.
