Background
Leumi Bank has turned from a leader in the digital front into a bank with an out-of-date platform.
The site presents redundant information, wrong hierarchies, unintuitive actions, does not enable customization and doesn't take into account the various personas.
Customers complained they are missing trackers and activity logs, notifications for relevant events or actions to perform. It's also challenging to switch between bank accounts and not possible to connect to several external systems.
The bank has decided to renew the customer experience of the business customers site.
The bank customers of today expect a simple, efficient , accessible, personal smart customer experience.
Project goals
-
Designing an holistic and intuitive customer experience for the bank site for its business and private customers aligned with its strategic vision.
-
To resume the bank’s leading position as the top innovator in the digital front
-
To create a different and unique solution which isn't found in today’s banking system’s solution
Challenges
-
Creating a new standard in the market rather than aligning with the existing solutions
-
Creating an advanced, flexible and intuitive experience which best suits the customer requirement
-
To switch from a website development approach to a product development approach
-
Up-to-date and relevant product for the next five years
What I did?
I took part in all the project stages: research, data architecture, design, user validations, prototyping and presenting our findings and work results to our customers.
Process
1. Research:
-
Interviews with stakeholders in the bank and with key customers
-
Conducting study groups and reviewing relevant the bank's internal knowledge articles
The results of the research are reflected in the general concept.
2. General Concept:
-
Together with the bank we have created the main concept - The bank as an efficient working tool for its customers.
-
Switch from website development to product development
-
The bank should communicate and behave as a technological banking company
-
The Platform is a product which provides service rather than another digital touch point for the bank customers
-
The product is continuously updated with new versions based on category and data analysis
-
Customer centric experience
-
Guiding Principles:

4. User validation and prototyping:
Testing the visual and product perception and collecting feedback.
Users comments:
-
Filters are missing, edit is not an options where it should
-
The customization wasn’t intuitive for the users
-
Visual - Some users requested more clear hierarchies
