FAQs

How long does a typical fintech design project take?
Most comprehensive fintech redesigns take 10-14 weeks due to security and compliance considerations. We also offer focused sprints (3-5 weeks) for specific challenges like onboarding optimization or payment flow improvements.
Do you work with regulated financial institutions or just fintech startups?
We work with the full spectrum of financial companies - from early-stage fintech startups to established banks, credit unions, and investment firms. Our approach adapts to your regulatory environment and compliance requirements.
How do you handle financial regulations and compliance in design?
We integrate compliance requirements from day one, working with your legal and compliance teams to ensure all design decisions meet regulatory standards while maintaining excellent user experience.
How do you measure trust and success in fintech design?
We establish trust-focused metrics including user confidence scores, completion rates for financial tasks, security perception surveys, and traditional business metrics like transaction volume and user lifetime value.
Do you provide ongoing support for regulatory changes?
Yes, we offer retainer arrangements for ongoing compliance updates, trust optimization, and continuous improvement based on regulatory changes and user feedback.
What if we need to redesign while maintaining existing customer trust?
We specialize in evolutionary redesigns that enhance trust without disrupting established user confidence. We use gradual rollout strategies and extensive user validation to ensure smooth transitions that maintain existing relationships.c
Can I check out past projects?
Yes but usually after we know more about what you’re building. Some of our work is under NDA, but we’ll always share examples that show how we think and deliver.
Do you do branding or just product design?
We do both especially when product and brand need to evolve together. Our branding work is rooted in utility: helping teams stand out, stay consistent, and scale faster across product, pitch, and platform.
If we have designers in-house - where do you fit in?
We bring outside perspective, product strategy, and speed. We work best with in-house teams that want a thought partner, not just more hands. Whether it’s a tricky UX challenge or a fast-moving roadmap, we work with the team you already have.
