fintech: the user experience opportunity
DESCRIPTION
For years, banks have been banking on consumer friction and the lack of understanding from consumers to make money. But we are not ready to accept that anymore. Standards are changing and consumers learned to demand much more from services they use everyday. As consumers turn to tech companies to handle their finances, we're seeing a massive opportunity to reinvent the user experience of how we interact with our money. Using BillGuard as a use case, this presentation goes through examples of carefully crafted mobile experiences to think about when reinventing consumer elements of finance.TRANSCRIPT
