E-Trade entered into structured negotiations when blind people charged the company engaged in systemic disability discrimination when it failed to code its mobile applications and website in a way compatible with screen readers and that complies with prevailing Web accessibility standards. Rather than getting sued and taking the matter to trial, the company decided to hammer out a settlement agreement, which is legally binding on the company. If the company fails to deliver on its access commitments, the blind customers can enter into legally binding arbitration to force action. If you were to consult my friend Google and ask it to search for the E-Trade ADA settlement, you will find the full text of the agreement.
Fidelity’s iPhone app can perform basic stock trades, including limit orders. It can’t do options trades though, even simple trades like buying puts on a stock position or buying calls in anticipation of a major corporate event, like the recent news with Staples. Fidelity, Schwab and E-Trade are the brokers that actually have a commitment to accessibility of some kind.
