CHALLENGE
Traditional online banking platforms like Wells Fargo and Chase often frustrate users with complicated navigation and excessive steps. This leads to confusion, wasted time, and increased calls to customer support. Simple tasks require multiple clicks across different pages, reducing efficiency and harming the overall user experience.
Key issues include :
* Time Loss: Users spent too long navigating for basic tasks.

The Solution :
To address these challenges, I designed an AI-guided banking experience centered on clarity, speed, and user empowerment:
* Streamlined Navigation – Reduced unnecessary clicks by simplifying task flows and restructuring the information architecture.
