Being digitally accessible is about more than having a competitive advantage. It\u2019s the right thing to do \u2013 and that\u2019s why we want to help other organisations become more accessible, too.<\/p>\n
We\u2019re committed to sharing our knowledge \u2013 in 2024 and 2025 nearly 250,000 people, including both HSBC colleagues and external participants, benefited from our expertise via visits to the HSBC Accessibility Hub or through our Train 1000 programme.\n<\/p>\n
As part of this programme, we\u2019ve provided training to nearly 200 organisations across almost 100 countries.\n<\/p>\n
In 2026, we\u2019re continuing our offering to people outside of HSBC, giving them a chance to take part in the training that was initially developed for our own employees.\n<\/p>\n
\u201cThe HSBC training was brilliant \u2013 covering not just why it\u2019s important to design for accessibility, but also going into the detail of how you actually do it,\u201d says James Thurman, a Senior UX Designer at Groupon, who joined our sessions for designers, alongside some of his colleagues.\n<\/p>\n
\u201cIt was great that there were sessions tailored to different roles. We came away with lots of new knowledge.\u201d\n<\/p>\n
The courses \u2013 delivered in person and over Zoom \u2013 teach people how to ensure their websites, apps and digital products can be used by everyone, especially those with disabilities.\n<\/p>\n
Mali Fernando, Group Head of Digital Experience and Accessibility at HSBC, says: \u201cAs part of our aim to be the world\u2019s most digitally accessible bank, we want to blaze a trail that others can follow.\n<\/p>\n
