- The thing of the product is that it could be technically implemented in the ecosystem of almost every bank and could be customized to every design system.
- Inspiration
- We felt motivated to: - design a flexible and effective tool for creating an EDMS of any complexity level; - develop and implement innovative financial services and solutions while increasing monetization options; - provide services and solutions that increase customer satisfaction; - increase revenue growth for the financial institution by means of digitalization and expansion of banking services and sales channels. We created innovating online banking app for the consumer market that drastically improves bank's customers experience with a new human-driven design approach.
- Research
- In order to check our hypotheses we made 5 UX researches and deep interviews with target audience. 2 of 5 sessions were provided by going out and testing with people on streets. 3 other sessions were provided with preliminarily invited respondents. Generally we made two types of tests (UX test and deep interview) with 30 people from 20 to 56 y.o. Next stages of the product development is being continued till now, so more tests are to be provided. By the following link there is a public video report on one of our tests (with english subtitles): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qAGPmxFOloI

- Realization and Technology
- Significant part of the project was UX-testing. In order to make sure that our hypotheses are correct and their respective solutions lead to the best possible user experience, we tested the product prototype on our several focus groups. Outcomes were analyzed and based on them the prototypes and design of the product was created in Figma Implementation of interface was made on React Native using Typescript.
- Operation and Interaction
- The product could be implemented in the system of every bank and could be customized to every design system. Required functionality may be added and transformed through custom developed modules based on a flexible constructor.
- Project Duration and Location
