Project Overview

Zupio is a next-generation digital banking app designed to make financial management simple, social, and secure. Built for a new generation of users, Zupio blends traditional banking features—like card activation, identity verification, and transfers—with modern touches such as family profiles, kids’ savings pots, and referral rewards. My role was to lead the UX and UI design for over 250+ mobile screens, building a design system that combined clarity, trust, and visual energy.

The Challenge & My Role

The team’s goal was to create a fintech app that felt both secure and human—a platform where parents could manage family finances and younger users could learn saving habits in a safe, intuitive environment. My responsibility included defining the information architecture, visual design system, and user experience for core flows such as onboarding, identity verification, payments, and family management.

The Process

I started by mapping out the entire user journey—from onboarding to goal-based savings—to ensure that each touchpoint felt frictionless and intuitive. A modular design system was developed with reusable UI components, ensuring visual consistency across hundreds of screens. I focused on accessibility and simplicity, using friendly color contrasts, bold typography, and clear micro-interactions to guide users effortlessly through complex tasks like KYC verification and transaction tracking. Special attention was given to family-oriented features like Kids Profiles and Savings Pots, introducing gamified visuals that turn budgeting into an engaging experience. I also collaborated closely with developers to ensure the designs were scalable and easy to implement.

The Build & Outcome

The result was a complete, cohesive design ecosystem with 250+ responsive screens and a flexible design system ready for growth. The final product delivered:
A smooth, trustworthy KYC flow.
Family-friendly dashboards with clear spending insights.
Goal-based saving pots to teach financial literacy.
A vibrant, modern visual language aligned with Zupio’s brand identity.
Zupio’s new design has been praised for its clarity, warmth, and accessibility—making complex financial interactions feel approachable and engaging. The app stands as a benchmark in modern fintech UX, blending utility, education, and delight in one seamless digital experience.
