Its not even the bank.... the bank application works well but its the digital id app that doesnt work. Its kinda a complicated thing cause its more accurately mainly used as an application that can provide a digital signature, so for example if you transfer money to someone you can either physically sign it or digitally sign it, and thats what this does. Most swedish banks support it so like 95% of sweden has to use this app. But sweden being sweden, im pretty sure the app is privately developed and not governmental. Which is extremely dangerous because swedens economy very much depends on this application, which once again DOES NOT FUNCTION if youre using accessibility features. This id why i call it vile, because it is.

Yeah, that's why it's probably illegal. You could find people that cannot use it, due to a disability perhaps, go to court with them and force government and banks to behave.

If it is excluding people due to a disability, it surely is illegal.

Yeah tho someone would have to take them to court which im not gonna do as an immigrant, especially with the current government. But once again this is another reason to have open standards instead of closed off apps.
