FinanceHub — Personal Finance Mobile App
Money apps are easy to design until something fails. I designed the four core money flows together with the screens people see when a transfer does not go through.
How this was designed
The problem
A finance app has to keep wallet, exchange and payments simple while still showing risk and security clearly. The hard part is not the happy path — it is what the screen says when a transfer fails, a session expires or a card is declined.
What I did
Mapped the four money tasks first, then wrote out the empty, loading and error screen for each before drawing any interface. Built dark-theme components with an explicit style for every state, and prototyped the flows end to end so the failure paths could be walked through, not just described.
How I got there
Went through the flows of established finance apps to map where each one asks for identity checks, how it explains fees, and what it shows after a failed transfer. Most handle the successful path well and the failed one badly.
What came out of it
A complete mobile design covering the four core money flows plus their failure states, with the persona, journey map, site map and storyboards it was built from.
The screens
Why it works that way
Balances stay visible at the top of every screen. The main action is kept away from riskier secondary ones. Warnings use restrained colour rather than alarm, and a short confirmation appears only at the point where a step cannot be undone. Multi-step transfers show progress so nobody loses their place.
Behind the design
What I handed over
Common Questions
How did you keep risk clear without alarming people?▼
Restrained colour for warnings, fees and balances visible on the page rather than in a footnote, and short confirmations only at steps that cannot be undone.
What makes error recovery work?▼
Each error screen keeps what the user already entered and offers one retry, so a failed transfer costs a tap rather than the whole flow.
