During my UX design internship at Swedbank, I led an independent design project exploring how Swedbank’s corporate banking app could be redesigned to improve customer and business value through a better daily banking experience, a clearer financial overview, more efficient workflows and greater consistency between the app and web.

I followed the Double Diamond design process, starting with user research to understand users’ needs and pain points, defining the problem, and then moving into ideation, prototyping and user testing to validate and iterate on the solution.

To understand stakeholder goals and user needs,

I framed the research around a set of key questions:

  • What needs do corporate customers have?

  • How do corporate customers work, and what are their key workflows?

  • What challenges and pain points do they experience?

  • What do customers want to use the corporate app for?

  • Which features should the app provide?

  • What needs do corporate customers have?

  • How do corporate customers work, and what are their key workflows?

  • What challenges and pain points do they experience?

  • What do customers want to use the corporate app for?

  • Which features should the app provide?

To answer these questions, I worked with…

To answer these questions, I worked with…

  • Conducted desk research, including reviewing and testing the existing corporate and private banking apps.

  • Analysed existing customer feedback.

  • Reviewed previous research on mid-corporate customers.

  • Conducted interviews with stakeholders from both the corporate and private app teams, as well as customer support representatives at Swedbank, to better understand customer needs, behaviours and pain points.

  • Conducted a competitive analysis to understand how other banks approached similar challenges and identify relevant patterns and best practices.

Key research findings

Key research findings

Key research findings

  • Corporate users need a clear overview and greater control over the company’s finances.

  • Users do not need full functionality in the app, but expect consistent information across channels.

  • The app should remain simple, particularly for larger corporates, while enabling key tasks to be completed quickly.

Problem statement:

Problem statement:

Corporate customers lack a sufficiently clear overview of their finances in the corporate banking app. Several key services are missing, limiting the app’s usefulness for on-the-go banking and making common tasks less efficient. As a result, users often need to rely on desktop solutions to complete key tasks. The app is also not sufficiently tailored to the needs of corporate users.

“I need to manage the company’s finances quickly and feel confident that everything is under control — even when I’m on the go.”

NEEDS

  • Carry out daily banking tasks quickly and easily

  • Check balances, make payments and manage transactions

  • Feel confident that payments are completed on time and sent to the correct recipient

  • Check payment statuses and take action while on the go

  • Maintain a clear overview and control of the company’s finances

FRUSTRATIONS

  • The app does not provide a sufficiently clear financial overview

  • Important services are missing, limiting what he can do on the go

  • He often needs to switch to the desktop version to complete key tasks

  • The app is not sufficiently tailored to corporate users’ needs

  • Information and workflows are inconsistent across the app and web

ABOUT

Sam owns and runs Sam’s Painting AB and manages the company’s finances himself. Although he is a corporate customer, his daily banking needs are similar to those of a private banking customer. He values efficiency, control and flexibility, and wants to handle essential tasks easily whether he is at work, between meetings or away from his desk.

Testing & concept evaluation

  • Created a usability test guide and moderator script.

  • Conducted one pilot test followed by moderated, in-person usability tests with five participants.

  • Applied the think-aloud method to capture user behaviour and reasoning.

  • Recorded screen and audio during the sessions and synthesised the findings into actionable improvements.

What would I have explored further?

What would I have explored further?

I would have explored solutions for medium-sized and large corporates with more complex account structures. Designing for these users introduces additional challenges, particularly when presenting complex financial information within the limited space of a mobile app.

Given the project timeframe and the focus on smaller corporates with needs similar to private customers, I chose to prioritise this target group. However, larger corporates could also benefit from improved overview and more efficient workflows.

During this project, I worked with…

  • Applied UX theory and methods while leading a real-world design project.

  • Designed user flows, interfaces and interactive prototypes for complex digital products, balancing user needs, business goals, accessibility requirements, technical constraints and regulatory requirements.

  • Collaborated closely with designers, developers, business analysts, product owners and other stakeholders in agile, cross-functional teams.
