This concept explores a floating physical credit card,
simulating a tap-to-pay transaction in a browser.
The design utilizes a deep violet-to-cyan gradient palette and
made it more authentic with the gold EMV chip, silver embossing, floating in a
void.
I imagine this functioning as the interaction for a checkout
instead of a Submit button. Maybe instead, they could physically drag the
floating the card to authorize transactions.
What if sending money felt a little more like giving a gift?
For Nova, I explored a banking app that brings payments, cards, and a bit of personality together. You can check your balance, browse recent transactions, send or request money, top up, and pay bills.
My favorite part is the digital postcard feature. Before sending a transfer, you can add a little illustrated card—a heart, a birthday greeting, or a playful character. A simple way to make birthday money or a thank-you feel more personal.
I carried that same 3D character into onboarding, pairing it with bold red gradients and large, clear payment details. There’s room for play, while the recipient and amount stay easy to check.
Would you add a postcard to a transfer? I’d love to know what occasion you’d use it for.
