The art of the banking APP

I was a bit sceptical when installing the Swedbank’s banking APP but to my surprise the simplicity with what the bank has adapted its core services on mobile is quite outstanding.

APP’s dashboard view

A few things to like about it:

  1. The simplicity of starting a payment via choosing the sum and then getting a list of already made payments before authentication is initiated. 
  2. The buttons on the dashboard which are well-sized to be easily accessible, the list of choices which is well-formed and the authentication need which is well-indicated via “lock” icons.
  3. The almost instant vibration notification and a message on your phone’s lock screen received after any transaction from or to any of your accounts in the bank.
  4. The quick overview of your account balance by swiping your finger downwards on the dashboard view.
