Currencies Direct, a leading multi-brand foreign exchange provider, were looking for ways that they could better serve their corporate customers and stand out from the pack.
Customer research & need-finding
We started out a need-finding exercise looking at customer satisfaction through the full experience funnel. We quickly identified two opportunity areas.
Onboarding was providing some friction to new customers and hedging which was a market differentiating area had no key differentiators vs. competitors.
Prototyping & User testing
The new user experience that we devised for a new onboarding flow was very different from the incumbent solution. Moving from a two-step form to a whopping 14-20 step form.
To derisk the delivery we carried out extensive A/B user testing before building to asses SUS scores and get feedback.
Iterative build
Finally, over a period of several weeks, we iteratively delivered the new experience. Closely monitoring the results with fortnightly cohorts.
While this was a new approach to operational metrics, the management team quickly appreciated the change as we saw marked improvements in both conversion and most importantly retention.
