OVERVIEW

Cashstream is a well-established financial services company with a strong presence in the personal and small business loan market. Founded in 2005, the company has built a reputation for providing quick, reliable, and customer-friendly loan services through its network of brick-and-mortar branches and a rudimentary online portal. However, as the digital landscape evolved, Cashstream recognized the urgent need to innovate and modernize its service offerings.

THE CHALLENGE

Lenders are confronted with outdated loan application processes that are slow, cumbersome, and lack transparency. The emergence of digital competitors and the impact of COVID-19 have heightened customer dissatisfaction, as borrowers increasingly seek quicker, more convenient online services.

USER PERSONAS

At the project's outset, we developed user personas such as Bamidele and Emily by analyzing demographic data, behavior patterns, and pain points gathered from user research (interviews & surveys). These personas embody the diverse needs, preferences, and challenges of our audience, guiding us in customizing products and services to effectively meet their needs.
