From start to finish

Before diving deep into design, we had to understand the needs of different travellers provided by the client. There's two types of users, mass and affluent - each has different goals, reasons and travel habits.


From there, we conducted research into other markets and analyzed how their apps function. We then examined the two customer journeys, mapped and designed on the new experiences with the business goals provided.

Although most of the research already provided by the client, it was a good exposure and learning experience to understand the payment industry and the common uses, benefits and needs from the consumer, issuer, and acquirer.
