The Challenge

Many fintech apps feel complex and intimidating for new users. Long sign-ups, confusing menu structures, security steps that feel unclear, and hard-to-manage cards and transfers all add friction to something that should feel simple: moving and tracking your own money.

The Solution

Nexu solves this with a clean, dark-green, premium banking interface built around a simple information architecture. Unified card management, biometric and OTP-based authentication, and a clear spending dashboard give users confidence at every step, from opening the app to sending money to a friend.

Key Features

  • Streamlined onboarding, login, and registration
  • OTP verification and Touch ID / Face ID biometric access
  • Transaction PIN for an extra layer of security
  • Unified card management — add, link, and configure cards
  • Send money / peer-to-peer transfers with instant confirmation
  • Spending analytics and account insight dashboards
  • Notifications and account settings

About This Project

Nexu is a case study for a modern mobile banking app built to make everyday finance feel simple and secure. I designed the full iOS experience — onboarding, biometric and OTP-based login, unified card management, peer-to-peer transfers, and spending analytics — inside a clean, dark-green interface with a dedicated design system. The goal was to strip away the complexity most fintech apps carry, replacing it with clear navigation, confident security cues, and a premium visual language that still feels approachable.
