User Experience
…the wall of shame
OUR DESIGN PRINCIPLES
Informed
Our decisions are based on our
customer insights, not our opinions. We
gathered these insights from speaking
to our customers and looking at the
data. We test > We iterate > We
validate > We ship.
Empowering
The money we transfer belongs to our customers.
They know what is happening to it, what will happen
to it and what did happen to it at all points during
the process. They feel in control because they are in
control.
Cohesive
Using TransferWise is an end-to-end experience, our
product is built by one company. Users do not have
to relearn our product, we reuse before we redesign.
Transparent
No Hidden Fees - they are obvious, digestible and
understandable. The user understands our product
because it is clear and can therefore make decisions
fairly.
Upfront
Our customers trust us with their money, their
identity and their time. We are informative about our
process from the start. They feel confident in our
product and understand what they need to do and
why.
Clear
We don't distract and we don’t hide.
We don’t do small print, and we don’t
do information overload. We reduce.
We show the right information at the
right time.
USER CENTRICITY
If we have data, let’s look at data.
If all we have are opinions, let’s go with mine.

“Customer insights
Customer insights
get some customer insights
Solving the
wrong problem
Executing in the
wrong way
What happens without customer insight?
How do we gain customer insights?
- Customer interviews
- User testing, A/B tests
- Data (yes… we still need data)
THEN WHAT?
