4 common fintech design issues we will solve

Compliance and security

Robust security features are essential to combat cybercrime and adhere to regulatory standards like KYC and AML. Our fintech designs ensure trust and safety by having robust security features and compliance protocols at every stage of the user journey.

Mobile-first design

In the era of mobile banking, users would rather enjoy intuitive interfaces and seamless experiences on their small screens. Our mobile-first approach guarantees access to financial services anytime, anywhere, without sacrificing security or functionality.

Friction balance

Some friction in fintech UI design is necessary, but keeping the balance is important. We design interactions that are neither too burdensome (which could frustrate users and lead them to abandon the task) nor too seamless (which could lead to careless mistakes, especially in sensitive areas like fintech).

Boring finance apps

Traditional finance app design is often seen as dull and complex. By adding elements of gamification, personalized sound effects, and vibrant branding, we make financial interactions more enjoyable and appealing to users, fostering deeper engagement and loyalty.

Fintech product design in 5 steps

Step 1.

Research and discovery

We dive deep into your product and niche to understand your industry, market, competitors, and users—their needs, behaviors, motivations, and pain points. We also consider regulatory requirements specific to fintech, crucial for compliance and market entry. By involving end-users and stakeholders early on, we validate our research direction and assumptions.

Step 2.

Product ideation

Armed with valuable insights, our team brainstorms innovative ideas and concepts for your product design. We work on information architecture and flow mapping, gathering and incorporating feedback from stakeholders early in the ideation process. This helps align the product's vision with user expectations and business goals. We also include a preliminary risk assessment to identify potential design or usability issues that could become significant later.

Step 3.

Prototyping and tests

Next, we translate our ideas into responsive wireframes and prototypes, iteratively testing their look and feel across devices with real users before actual development. Prototyping and user testing is an ongoing cycle in our design process that refines the product based on real user feedback. It's not just a one-time phase. When necessary, we integrate existing systems, which is often crucial in fintech environments.

Step 4.

UX/UI design

Backed by research and usability testing results, we move on to creating a feasible and intuitive UX/UI fintech design giving it a polished look and feel. We focus on accessibility to ensure the product is usable by people with a wide range of abilities.

Step 5.

Launch and support

Finally, we create design systems and hand off the final design to developers. We offer user training and comprehensive documentation that enhances user adoption and satisfaction. Additionally, we provide ongoing support for any post-launch issues or possible app updates.
