Front end and UX always become a challenge and key success factor when building new tech products. In the FinTech space, it plays an even more important role considering high CAC costs and the average CLV metrics. Therefore, companies have to invest over 60% of their engineering budgets to build apps and experiences pursuing their target acquisition and retention goals.
The importance of front end & UX
A well-designed front end is essential for any FinTech company. It’s the face of your product, and it’s what customers see and interact with. Good front-end design can help attracting new customers and keep those you already have.
Looking at the most successful FinTech companies in the US and Europe, you can notice that the key value proposition lies within the experiences they provide. It has always been a key differentiator between legacy institutions and modern FinTechs but its importance and complexity were often underestimated. Front end experiences still remain the biggest success factor for many of the fintechs and a blocker for others who didn’t manage to get it right.
A good front end solution must not only look nice and deliver your brand message but also interact with the clients, be clear, intuitive and responsive. Furthermore, UX is directly connected to other pieces of your product such as back end APIs, business and compliance processes, marketing tactics, etc.
