Accessible, inclusive, compliant: As of now, your baningo digital business cards are fully EAA-compliant. This means you can design your business card in a way that makes it accessible to all people – regardless of limitations.

What does EAA-compliant mean?

The EAA (European Accessibility Act) is an EU directive requiring digital products and services to be usable by people with disabilities. For your business card, this means:

  • Screen reader compatibility
  • Keyboard-only navigation support
  • High contrast, flexible font sizes, responsive layout
  • Alt texts for images and icons
  • Proper form labels and helpful error messages

Why accessibility benefits you

  • Wider reach: Your card works for everyone, no matter the device or limitation.
  • Legal peace of mind: You meet legal requirements without any extra effort.
  • Professional image: You show that accessibility and inclusion matter – even when sharing contact info.

Add your accessibility statement (Business Plan)

If you're on our Business Plan, you can link your own accessibility statement right in the footer of your card. Here's how:

  1. Create an accessibility statement on your website.
  2. Add the link in your team settings. If you manage multiple teams, you can set different links or use the same one for all.
  3. Click “Save.”
  4. Your accessibility statement will now automatically appear in the footer of your digital cards.

This makes your commitment to inclusion visible and professional.
