Overview

Overview

We redesigned Money OS to make everyday money tasks fast, clear, and safe. The new IA centers on five tabs—Home, Pay, Budget, Grow, Profile—with a unified Pay & Transfer flow, plain-language copy, and stronger guardrails (review, fees, arrival time, undo).

Accessibility and visual hierarchy were tightened to reduce cognitive load. Faster payments, higher onboarding and budget setup rates, fewer errors, and improved CSAT will be key measures of success.

Design Process

We led an iterative, empathy-driven process: user interviews and observations informed personas and journey maps, which guided low-fidelity wireframes and early prototypes. We refined flows through ongoing usability testing, focusing on clarity, safety, and task efficiency. Partnering closely with developers and clinicians ensured feasibility and clinical relevance. The result is an intuitive, reliable experience that effectively supports epilepsy management.

Before & After Comparison

The previous Home screen presented multiple financial widgets—balances, transactions, insights, and goals—without a defined hierarchy. Primary actions were buried within cards, and alerts competed for attention, making it difficult for users to identify what mattered most. As a result, users often hesitated on first load, backtracked between sections, and rarely leveraged insights to take action.

The redesigned Home introduces a focused, confidence-driven experience. A clear hero balance establishes context at a glance, with primary actions (“Add,” “Send,” “Request”) placed upfront. Insights and risk alerts are reframed as actionable guidance rather than noise, supported by visual hierarchy, contrast, and spacing that invite interaction. The result is a streamlined, modern interface that improves comprehension, trust, and usability.

Before

  • The interface lacked a clear hierarchy; users struggled to identify primary actions such as transfers or deposits.

  • System alerts and promotional banners cluttered the screen, distracting from essential banking tasks.

  • Visual inconsistency in color, typography, and iconography created a dated and untrustworthy appearance.

  • Key information like balance and transactions was buried among unrelated details, causing cognitive overload.

  • The layout provided no actionable insights—users viewed static data without meaningful context or guidance.

After

  • A defined hero section now surfaces the total balance and key actions (“Add,” “Send,” “Request”) for instant clarity and engagement.

  • Clean, structured layout and spacing establish a strong visual hierarchy, improving readability and reducing fatigue.

  • AI-powered insights transform raw data into actionable guidance, supporting smarter financial decisions.

  • Consistent color palette and typography enhance brand trust and modernize the overall look.

  • Streamlined navigation and contextual feedback reduce friction, allowing users to complete core actions quickly and confidently.

Quantitative Research

Usability testing showed strong gains with the redesigned Money OS mobile app. Task completion reached 90% (+22 pts), median time-to-pay dropped to 29 seconds, and the critical payment error rate fell to 1.7%, indicating faster, safer flows. Post-task CSAT averaged 4.3/5, and NPS rose to +34, reflecting higher user confidence and satisfaction.

Two minor, non-critical issues were observed—intermittent bank-sync delays on poor networks and lower chart contrast in dark mode. Neither affected task completion, but they guide our next round of refinements.

User Persona

As part of our research, we created two user personas to capture the needs of our core audience. Informed by surveys and interviews, these personas highlight user goals, challenges, and motivations, ensuring the Money OS app redesign stays grounded in real experiences. They served as a foundation for feature prioritization and design decisions, directly addressing key scenarios in money management.

User Survey

We surveyed 200 users (largest cohorts: 25–34 at 29% and 35–44 at 25%). Overall sentiment was strong: 72% rated navigation positively, 74% reported high overall satisfaction, and 76% felt confident completing payments. Among 40 recent active users, most use Money OS daily or multiple times a day, and describe navigation and payment completion as very/somewhat easy. Top improvement requests focus on faster repeat payments, simplified input forms, richer notes/attachments, and voice-to-text, guiding our next iterations.
