The Challenge

SENB Bank’s existing digital platform was built primarily for a mature audience (45+), resulting in experiences that felt outdated, dense, and difficult to navigate for younger users. As the bank expanded into new segments—business customers and small investors—it needed a more intuitive and scalable digital foundation. 

Usability gaps across navigation, feedback, and error handling reduced user confidence and increased cognitive load during critical banking tasks. These issues limited adoption among digitally savvy users and constrained the platform’s long-term fintech ambitions. 

Key Pain Points 

  • Confusing navigation due to missing persistent header 
  • No visual feedback for active or selected states 
  • Content-heavy layouts increasing cognitive load 
  • Errors surfaced only after task failure 
  • Outdated visual language lacking modern appeal
