Client: Barclays

Project Definition:

Bring the current credit card application process within the Barclays Mobile App

Tools Used:

Sketch, Axure, Omnigraffe

Project details:

The current form that exists today to a customer sits on the Barclaycard.co.uk domain. As a Current account customer using the Barclays Mobile App, should you wish to apply for a credit card you are re-directed out of the app into a responsive form, that is long and cumbersome to use, the conversion rate currently sits at 3%.

To start the project we took screenshots of the entire existing journey and and analysed how it looked and felt using some guerilla testing. Throughout the project I worked alongside the Senior Digital product owners and BA's to understand any goals and outcomes they wished to achieve.

User journey flow created:

New design:

Below are some of the designs that were created using Sketch using the design language, some of the improvements over the current design were the following

• Progress bar to indicate where a customer is within the journey
• Pre-poulating relevant customer information where possible
• Splitting out the content from the current scrolling form design into easier manageable sections

The below screens showcase what happens when a customer is successful in applying for a Barclaycard, but has an issue with the balance transfer they have requested.

The new design I have created handles each one individually, as opposed to overloading the customer with all 5 entries in one long form, thus losing the customers focus on how to amend the details

• Customer can click on on each individual Balance transfer or clear it if they so wish using the "'X"
• Inlline validation indicates the total amount they can transfer 
• Once all correct warning icons turn to ticks and continue button becomes enabled.

These are edge sceanrios but all still have to be taken into consideration to create a good user experience.

User testing:

After the designs were created, I inputted them all into Axure to create an interactive prototype for the purposes of testing. I worked alongside out in-house research agency to complie a list of questions and outcomes we wished to achieve.

Following on from the lab based testing, some small tweaks were made to improve the journey further
