Problem Statement
The challenge
Dollar Bank's account opening flow existed largely outside the authenticated banking experience, creating a disconnected journey for existing customers who wanted to open additional accounts. Forms were long, instructions unclear, and the experience was not optimized for mobile completion.
Methodology
How the work moved
01Ran stakeholder workshops and customer interviews to map pain points across the existing application form, confirmation states, and post-open account setup steps.
02Led Sprint 6 (Account Opening) — generating concepts on Day 1, building wireframes anchored to business requirements including group banking, bill pay pre-enrollment, and auto-fill from existing account data.
03Developed high-fidelity prototypes covering account type selection, personalized recommendations, pre-populated fields for authenticated users, and a streamlined onboarding checklist post-opening.
Key Decisions
Decisions and tradeoffs
Pre-populated fields from existing account data for authenticated users instead of treating every application as a cold start.
