A modern user-focused experience that sits on top of the mechanics of banking. As someone whose bank can’t even manage a half-decent desktop banking experience, never mind anything remotely mobile, this is making me very envious.
Actually, it’s almost too well-designed for a bank-related product. Seems unnatural, somehow. Weird, eh?
Greg Storey follows up Happy Cog’s Site Week redesign with some thoughts about the imperfections of the site that they launched last Friday.
