Background of the Study
Heritage Bank has recently undertaken a comprehensive redesign of its mobile banking application to improve digital usability and customer satisfaction. The redesigned interface features a modern, intuitive layout; simplified navigation menus; and customizable dashboards that allow users to quickly access essential banking functions. By focusing on user experience (UX) principles and leveraging customer feedback, Heritage Bank aims to reduce the learning curve associated with digital banking and boost adoption among both tech-savvy and novice users. Advanced design elements such as responsive design, seamless integration of security features like biometric authentication, and interactive help tools have been incorporated to enhance the user journey. The bank’s strategy also involves periodic usability testing and A/B testing to continually refine interface elements based on real-world usage data. Such initiatives are designed to facilitate faster transaction processing, reduce errors, and ultimately lead to greater customer engagement and loyalty in an increasingly digital financial landscape.
Statement of the Problem
Despite the new mobile application interface improvements, Heritage Bank faces challenges in achieving uniform usability across diverse devices and operating systems. Variations in screen sizes and hardware capabilities sometimes result in inconsistent user experiences, with reports of slow load times and occasional app crashes. Additionally, while the redesign addresses many usability issues, customers with lower digital literacy may still find it challenging to navigate some of the advanced features. Inconsistent user feedback integration and delayed updates further contribute to suboptimal performance in certain segments of the customer base. These challenges can reduce overall satisfaction and hinder the bank’s goal of increasing digital adoption. The study aims to identify these usability gaps and propose targeted improvements to ensure a consistently positive user experience.
