Most fintech apps tell you what already happened to your money.
I wanted to design one that tells you what's about to.
This is the onboarding flow for Forecastr — a subscription risk app I've been designing for people with irregular income: freelancers, gig workers, and anyone tired of being caught off guard by a renewal charge on a low-balance day.
The challenge wasn't the screens. It was the trust problem. Asking someone to connect their bank account is a big ask — so the entire onboarding is built to earn that permission before it's requested, not after.
Every screen answers one of three silent questions users are asking:
- What is this actually doing for me?
- Is my money safe?
- Why do you need access to my bank?
More screens dropping soon.

Guess who's back?
It's been a while since I last shared my design journey, and I wanted to let you know why.
Over the past few weeks, I ran into a couple of setbacks. My internet became so unreliable that it slowed everything down, so I invested in a router to fix that. Then, just when I thought I was back on track, my laptop gave up on me.
The good news? I now have a new laptop, a stable internet connection, and I'm back doing what I love.
To kick things off, I've just completed two more screens of the fintech app I started working on, and I can't wait to share the progress with you.
This time, I want to bring you along for the entire journey—from wireframes and UI decisions to design challenges, iterations, and the final product.
If you've been following my work, thank you for sticking around. If you're new here, welcome! There's a lot more coming.
Here's a sneak peek of the latest screens.
Designing a Clear and Trustworthy Investment Redemption Experience
When users are moving money out of an investment portfolio, the last thing they should feel is uncertainty.
Before confirming a transaction, users need to clearly understand:
-How much money they are redeeming
-Where the money is going
-Which portfolio the transaction is connected to
-Which assets are involved
-What action they are about to take
For this fintech product, I designed a Confirm Redemption experience that brings all of this information together in one simple, focused screen.
The goal was to create a confirmation step that feels clear, trustworthy, and easy to understand without overwhelming the user with unnecessary information.
The Challenge: Financial transactions require confidence.
When a user is redeeming money from an investment portfolio, the confirmation screen needs to do more than simply display a large amount and a button. It needs to help the user verify the details of the transaction before proceeding.
The challenge was to present multiple pieces of financial information in a way that feels:
-Simple
-Scannable
-Transparent
-Reassuring
-Easy to confirm
The Solution: I designed the experience around a strong visual hierarchy.
The screen begins with the primary action users need to understand: the redemption amount.
₦75,000
This immediately gives the user clarity on the value of the transaction.
Below that, the supporting details are grouped into a single structured card. This allows users to quickly review the important information without having to navigate through multiple screens.
The confirmation summary includes:
-Destination: GTBank account ending in 5242
-Portfolio: Growth Portfolio
Amount: ₦75,000
Assets: Apple
Each row uses a simple icon to make the information easier to scan and create a visual distinction between the different types of data.
Design Decisions: The interface uses a soft lavender background to create a calm and modern fintech experience.
Instead of using a harsh white interface, the subtle tinted background helps the confirmation card and primary action stand out while keeping the overall experience light.
The rounded container creates a clear visual grouping for the transaction details.
The primary CTA, Confirm Payment, uses a deep indigo color to create strong contrast and communicate the importance of the action.
The close button is positioned in the top-right corner, giving users an easy way to exit the confirmation flow without accidentally confirming the transaction.
Why This Flow Matters
A good confirmation screen should reduce hesitation.
The user should not have to ask:
“Where is my money going?”
“Which portfolio am I redeeming from?”
“What asset is involved?”
“How much am I redeeming?”
All of these questions are answered before the user confirms the transaction.
The result is a simple, focused experience that gives users the information they need at the exact moment they need it.
My Focus
For this design, I focused on:
• Clear financial information hierarchy
• Reducing cognitive load
• Creating a trustworthy transaction experience
• Making important details easy to scan
• Using visual grouping to organize complex information
• Designing a strong and clear confirmation action
• Maintaining a clean, modern fintech visual language
This is one of the many small moments in a financial product where thoughtful UX can make a significant difference.
Because when money is involved, clarity is not just a visual design choice.
It is part of the user experience.
