Helping Users Make Confident
Financial Decisions.

The Save & Invest feature had all the information users needed — but none of the guidance. This redesign replaces decision anxiety with a four-step flow built around the user’s own goals.

RoleUX Designer
Timeline3–4 Weeks
ToolsFigma
TypeMSc UX Case Study

The Context

For most people, “should I save or invest?” is genuinely difficult — especially without a financial background. The existing app offered a calculator and a list of products, but no way of knowing which was right for you.

The result: hesitation at the decision point, low engagement with the calculator, and a feature that required confidence users didn’t yet have.

What wasn’t working

  • No guidance before the decision
    Users were asked to choose between Saving and Investing with nothing to anchor their choice.
  • Static, disconnected calculator
    Inputs produced numbers but gave no real-time feedback or reassurance about outcomes.
  • Too many options at once
    The layout prioritised completeness over clarity — leaving users overwhelmed, not confident.
  • Information without context
    Data was present but unexplained, making it hard to understand what any of it meant for them.
Core Insight

Users don’t need more financial information. They need guidance and reassurance to act with confidence.

A Four-Step Guided Flow

Rather than presenting everything at once, the redesign moves users through four focused screens — each one narrowing uncertainty before asking for the next decision.

Question screen
Recommendation screen
Plan screen
Result screen
01
Questions

Three short questions establish goal, time horizon, and risk appetite before anything else is shown.

02
Recommendation

A single personalised suggestion with a plain-language rationale — no comparison required.

03
Plan

Users adjust deposit and duration on a live slider before seeing projections.

04
Result

A projected total with deposit / interest split gives tangible reassurance before committing.

From Static Screens to a Guided Experience

The first version proved the concept but missed two things: interactivity and upfront guidance. Feedback from an industry UX professional identified both gaps — and directly shaped the final design.

Initial Design — Version 1

Original flow — 4 wireframe screens

What worked
  • Clear split between Save and Invest entry points
  • Calculator present — users could see projected totals
  • Familiar banking app layout reduced learning curve
What didn’t work
  • Calculator inputs were static — no real-time feedback
  • No guidance before the Save / Invest split
  • Decision felt premature; users had no context for choosing
  • Result screen showed numbers without emotional reassurance

What changed
  • Question screen added
    Moves the decision point after the user defines their goal — removing cold-start anxiety.
  • Personalised recommendation
    Replaces side-by-side comparison with a single suggestion and a plain-English rationale.
  • Interactive duration slider
    Replaced static text inputs with a 1–10 year slider for tangible, real-time impact.
  • Confidence-first result screen
    Projected total with a deposit vs. interest breakdown — making the outcome feel real and achievable.
Before
  • Choose Save or Invest immediately — no context
  • Static calculator with manual text inputs
  • Results shown as numbers without reassurance
  • Layout prioritised features over the user’s journey
After
  • Guided questions establish user context first
  • Live slider inputs with real-time projection updates
  • Personalised recommendation with plain-English rationale
  • Result screen designed to build confidence, not just display data

How users responded

A task-based evaluation was run with two participants across both versions. The task: navigate from landing to completing the Save & Invest flow.

V1

Both users paused at the Save / Invest choice, re-read content several times, and expressed uncertainty about what to enter into the calculator.

V2

Both users moved through the flow without hesitation. The recommendation was understood immediately, and both responded positively to seeing a projected total at the end.

↓ Hesitation
Users made decisions faster with less re-reading once guided questions established their context.
↑ Clarity
Guided steps replaced information overload — task comprehension improved noticeably.
↑ Engagement
Interactive inputs turned passive scrolling into active decision-making.
↑ Confidence
Seeing the projected outcome with a breakdown gave users visible reassurance.

How I work.

A structured, empathy-led design process that keeps users at the centre of every decision.

01Discover

Conducted user research to understand pain points. Observed that users felt overwhelmed by options and lacked confidence without guided prompts.

Synthesised research into a clear problem statement. Identified the core need: guided decision-making over information-dumping.

Results that
matter.

A usability evaluation with two participants showed clear differences between the original and redesigned flows across every observed behaviour.

↓ Hesitation
Users made decisions faster and with less re-reading in the redesigned flow.
↑ Clarity
Guided steps replaced information overload — comprehension improved noticeably.
↑ Engagement
Interactive inputs drove active involvement rather than passive scrolling.
↑ Confidence
Seeing the projected outcome gave users tangible reassurance before committing.
Reflection

The biggest shift wasn’t visual — it was structural.

Moving the decision point to after the user has articulated their own goals removed the anxiety of being asked to choose without context. The calculator was always capable of producing the right numbers — it just needed to earn the user’s trust first.

If I were to take this further, I’d prototype a compound interest calculator on the slider and run a broader study to measure task confidence scores before and after.

Let’s work
together.
