I don't think they are required to do anything by law. there  are section
508 standards, but these are just standards not laws.
http://www.section508.gov/

Let me know if you find anything, because this same situation happened to me
with one of my banks, switched all of my accounts to a local bank, that
takes accessibility into consideration.
thanks
