Project overview

Project overview

My idea of the redesign project of Moje ING focused on addressing issues with an overloaded interface and complicated paths for performing basic tasks, such as making a transfer. The main goal was to create a more intuitive and efficient banking application that would allow users to complete common banking operations, like transfers or checking their balance more quickly and easily.

Problem statement

Problem statement

Based on research findings from competing banking applications (PEKAO, mBank, Alior Bank, Revolut) and user interviews, I have identified the following key issues:


Unintuitive home screen – an overload of elements on a single screen made it difficult for users to locate the app’s most important features.


Complicated transfer process – users experienced difficulties completing the transfer process, which was not user-friendly or intuitive. When it came time to confirm the transaction, the "confirm" button was hidden and only became visible after scrolling down, which was confusing for many users and caused problems. Additionally, there was a lack of clear information summarizing the entire transaction.


Limited access to frequently used features – some popular functionalities were deeply buried within the app’s structure, making them hard to reach.

Research process and analysis

Research process and analysis

Market research - I analyzed competitor banking apps (mBank, Revolut, PEKAO, Alior Bank) identifying common features and gaps. Researched industry trends, and customer expectations


User interviews - I conducted in-depth interviews with 5 users


User research - I identified common pain points, usability issues, and customer

User personas - Based on the research, I created two main personas: Zuzanna (a 20 year old student) and Dawid (a 37 year old sales manager).

What I have learned?

What I have learned?

Redesigning the banking app taught me how complex the transfer process is and how many factors influence the final user experience. An equally important takeaway from the entire project was realizing how crucial it is to design each step in a way that makes it clear to the user what to do next (e.g., feedback about an incorrect account number), and how important it is to focus equally on the sad path as well as the happy path.
