UX case study and redesign

Moje ING

Moje ING is a mobile banking application designed to provide seamless banking experiences for ING Bank customers.

Tools used

Problem statement

The homepage contains too many elements, making it difficult to find essential items. Another issue is that users have to navigate through numerous screens to perform simple operations, such as making a transfer, which significantly prolongs the process and prevents the efficient use of the application.

Problem solution

I have redesigned the main screen to include the most important application features within easy reach. In the menu bar, I replaced the "offer" button with "products" to ensure that access to the user's banking products is available from any level of the application. Additionally, I have reduced the number of screens a user must navigate through to make a transfer, streamlining this process to a minimum.

After

Seamless interface

Improved navigation and an straightforward interface ensure a pleasant experience when using all available features of the application.

Easier transfer process

The option to make transfers is available on the menu bar, allowing this operation to be performed from any level within the application. The reduced number of screens a user must navigate through to complete a transfer facilitates quick and easy transaction process.

Responsive design

The application has been designed to adapt to various mobile devices.
