The finding or development
Authentication and screen-reader barriers recur across digital financial services. Reported reliance on sighted assistance raises questions about privacy and independent access.
What supports it
Peer-reviewed scoping review · 23 studies across eight databases
Reviewed: Published abstract, review methods and limitations; supplementary files not reviewed.
Why it matters for design
Evaluate complete journeys, including login and payment verification, with people who use assistive technology.
Read with this in mind
English-language evidence; uneven geography and mostly small participant samples. Only 20% of screening and charting was independently checked by two reviewers. No longitudinal or intervention evaluations were identified; this maps barriers rather than proving which fixes work.
