Accessibility Statement

Our Commitment to Accessibility

Merchant Fund Express is committed to ensuring that our website and digital services are accessible to everyone, including people with disabilities. We believe that every business owner deserves equal access to the financial resources and information they need to grow their business, regardless of ability.

We are continually improving the user experience for all visitors and applying the relevant accessibility standards to ensure we provide equal access to all users.

Conformance Standards

Merchant Fund Express aims to conform to the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.2 Level AA standards. These guidelines explain how to make web content more accessible to people with a wide array of disabilities, including:

• Visual impairments, including blindness, low vision, and color blindness
• Hearing impairments, including deafness and hard of hearing
• Motor impairments that affect the ability to use a mouse or keyboard
• Cognitive and neurological disabilities, including learning disabilities

WCAG 2.2 is the internationally recognized benchmark for web accessibility, developed by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) Web Accessibility Initiative (WAI).

Measures We Have Taken

Merchant Fund Express takes the following measures to ensure the accessibility of our website:

• Regular Accessibility Audits: We conduct periodic reviews of our website using both automated testing tools and manual evaluations to identify and resolve accessibility barriers.
• Staff Training: Our web development and content teams receive training on accessibility best practices and inclusive design principles.
• Ongoing Monitoring: We continuously monitor our website for accessibility issues and prioritize fixes as part of our regular development workflow.
• Semantic HTML Structure: We use proper heading hierarchy, landmark regions, and semantic markup throughout our pages to support assistive technology navigation.
• Keyboard Accessibility: All interactive elements on our website are designed to be operable via keyboard navigation.
• Color Contrast Compliance: We maintain sufficient color contrast ratios between text and background colors to ensure readability for users with low vision or color blindness.
• Alternative Text: We provide descriptive alternative text for images and non-text content so screen reader users can understand the information conveyed.
• Clear, Readable Content: We write content in plain language and use consistent navigation patterns to support users with cognitive disabilities.

Known Limitations

While we strive to ensure that all pages and content on MerchantFundExpress.com are fully accessible, we acknowledge that some areas may not yet be fully optimized. We are actively identifying and remediating accessibility issues across our site.

Our commitment is to continuously improve. As we identify areas that do not meet our accessibility standards, we prioritize remediation efforts to address them as quickly as possible.

If you encounter any content or functionality that you believe is not fully accessible, we encourage you to contact us so we can address the issue promptly.
