Process review

of building savings

Leading Czech bank ČSOB approached us to redesign their building savings application flow. The original process had 14 screens, unclear navigation, and a high drop-off rate. Users were losing context and abandoning the application mid-way.

Process audit

and identified issues

Our UX/UI team conducted a thorough audit of ČSOB's processes, including interviews with target users. The original flow of 14 screens contained redundant steps and unclear form fields that confused applicants.

What solution

we proposed

We focused on maximum simplification—reducing 14 screens to just 3 clear steps. We prioritized mobile-first design, since the majority of users access the app from their phones.

Added

value

We realized the application process can feel uncertain for users. So we added contextual help, a back-navigation option, and a savings calculator that shows the real benefit before the user commits.

How we worked

How we did it all and what practices we follow in every implementation.

Existing process analysis

We performed a detailed UX audit of the building savings application process, including user interviews. We identified key pain points and drop-off triggers.

Simplification and new flow design

Based on our findings, we designed a dramatically simpler mobile-first process. We condensed 14 screens into 3 clear steps with smart form pre-filling.

Adding support elements

We enhanced the process with contextual help, a back-navigation option, and a savings calculator to support users at moments of uncertainty.

Implementation and results evaluation
