Accessibility at Expensify

Expensify’s mission is to make expense management effortless for everyone, and everyone includes people who rely on screen readers, keyboard navigation, magnification, and other assistive technologies. We’re committed to building a product that anyone can use to track expenses, chat, and manage money, regardless of ability.

What accessibility standards Expensify follows

We design and evaluate Expensify against the following accessibility standards:

• Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.2, Levels A and AA
• Revised Section 508 of the U.S. Rehabilitation Act
• EN 301 549, the European accessibility standard for ICT products and services

Expensify supports WCAG 2.2 Levels A and AA. Our latest Accessibility Conformance Reports rate every applicable Level A and AA success criterion as Supports across both the web app and the iOS and Android apps.

How to get Expensify’s Accessibility Conformance Report (VPAT/ACR)

An Accessibility Conformance Report (ACR), based on the Voluntary Product Accessibility Template (VPAT), documents how Expensify conforms to the standards above, criterion by criterion. We publish two reports: one for the web app and one for the mobile apps.

Our reports were produced from an evaluation of Expensify using:

• Screen readers: JAWS, NVDA, VoiceOver, and TalkBack
• Keyboard-only navigation
• Browser zoom and text spacing checks
• Color contrast analysis
• Automated tooling
• Chrome, Firefox, and Safari on desktop

To download the latest report, go to the Expensify Trust Center resources page.

How to report an accessibility issue

Expensify’s app is open source, and accessibility issues are tracked publicly on GitHub. If you hit an accessibility barrier in Expensify, create a new issue using the Accessibility issue template.

When filling in the template, include:

• The steps you took and what happened versus what you expected
• The WCAG checkpoint that failed, if you know it
• The platform (web, iOS, Android) and the assistive technology you were using

Where to track accessibility issues and progress

Every accessibility issue is labeled Accessibility and tracked in the open, so you can follow the public accessibility backlog at any time.
