CCV and the European Accessibility Act (EAA)

How CCV makes payments accessible for everyone

At CCV, we believe everyone should be able to pay easily, no matter their (dis)ability. The European Accessibility Act (EAA) is an important step towards making payment solutions more inclusive. We’re here to help you understand what this means and how we are preparing for these changes. Together, we are shaping an inclusive future. 

What is the European Accessibility Act (EAA)?

The EAA is a European law that sets requirements to make products like payment terminals and online services accessible to everyone. Starting June 28, 2025, all new payment solutions must meet these rules. The aim is to remove barriers to access for people with disabilities. Including those with visual impairments, motor impairments, cognitive challenges and hearing disabilities.
