Background of the study:
Mobile app user experience (UX) plays a critical role in customer retention, especially in the competitive fintech sector. A fintech startup in Lagos has prioritized optimizing its mobile app interface and functionality to deliver a seamless, intuitive user experience.

The integration of user feedback into iterative design improvements is central to the startup’s strategy. Challenges such as technical glitches, inconsistent performance across devices, and evolving user expectations are also explored. This research seeks to provide actionable insights into how fintech startups can enhance mobile UX to boost customer retention and achieve a competitive advantage in the rapidly evolving digital finance landscape.
