Users want a dashboard to see their spending and upcoming bills in one place

Implementation

Through a process of ideation and user feedback the app took shape.

Crossroads

Crossroads

The month-year selector on the spending page was a unique problem to solve. Our current UI kit did not initially include a date picker suited to our needs. User feedback indicated that while using two dropdowns was effective, it felt somewhat burdensome.

I chose to design a custom picker instead, which could borrow most of its code from an existing React Native component. I only take this approach when I believe the increase in front-end development time is justified by the UX benefits.

User Flow

User Flow

Adding an account flow, popular apps are pre loaded to save users time. For anything else a manual addition is required.
