NAFCU continues to work with member credit unions facing litigation over unclear website accessibility requirements under the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and urges credit unions impacted by this issue to reach out for assistance.

So far, credit unions in 25 states have notified NAFCU of demand letters. NAFCU has been active on this issue since last fall and began filing amicus briefs to support credit unions targeted by ADA website accessibility litigation in December. So far, five of the lawsuits in which NAFCU has filed an amicus brief have been dismissed.

Credit unions receiving demand letters and those deciding to fight them through litigation are encouraged to let NAFCU know by emailing NAFCU Vice President of Regulatory Compliance Brandy Bruyere (bbruyere@nafcu.org) and NAFCU Special Counsel for Compliance and Research Pamela Yu (pyu@nafcu.org).

NAFCU has myriad resources available to members on its website, including an ADA resource page with best practices from in-house compliance and legal experts, and an FAQ document on the issue.
