As UI designer at comdirect, I designed pioneering solutions for digital banking - from the banking app to the Informer portal.
The Digital Evolution of Banking
From 2007 to 2016, I supported comdirect bank AG, a subsidiary of Commerzbank, in their digital transformation. As a UX/UI designer, I drove forward groundbreaking digitalization projects and actively shaped the future of online banking.
Banking App Redesign
The complete redesign of the banking app was one of my main projects. The focus was on reconceptualizing the app from the ground up to meet the increasing demands of mobile banking.
Core Aspects of the Redesign:
- Development of intuitive navigation for quick access to core functions
- Simplification of transaction processes through clear user guidance
- Implementation of modern, responsive design for all screen sizes
- Integration of quick actions for frequently used functions
photoTAN App: Security Meets User-Friendliness
In parallel, I developed the UX/UI design for the photoTAN app - a security-critical application for transaction authorization. The particular challenge was combining the highest security standards with intuitive usability.
Innovative Solutions:
- Development of a transparent authentication process
- Design of clear confirmation dialogs for maximum security
- Optimization of camera integration for reliable scanning
CFD Trading Platform: Real-Time Trading
In the trading sector, I designed the new frontend for the CFD trading platform. The challenge lay in clearly presenting complex market data while optimizing the order process.
Key Features:
- Integration of real-time market data
- Development of a responsive trading interface
- Optimization of the order workflow for quick execution
- Implementation of individually configurable chart analyses
Account Switching Service: Simplifying Complexity
Another innovative project was the development of the account switching service. Here, we succeeded in significantly simplifying a traditionally complex and time-consuming banking process through intelligent UX design.
Key Elements:
- Development of step-by-step user guidance
- Automation of manual processes
- Integration of status indicators for transparency
- Implementation of intelligent form validation
The Informer: Finances at a Glance
The Informer is comdirect's configurable finance portal. As a complex web application, it enables users to fully personalize their financial overview through freely configurable widgets and real-time updates.
Innovative Features:
- Drag-and-drop widget configuration
- Live updates of market data
- Integration of chart analyses and portfolio simulations
- Responsive display of complex financial information
