Building a front end and user experience is always challenging. In the Fintech space, it plays an even greater role considering high customer acquisition costs and low lifetime values. Therefore, companies must invest over 60% of their engineering budgets to build apps and experiences in order to pursue their target acquisition and retention goals.

The importance of front end & UX

The front end of any Fintech product is essential. It is the face of your product and what customers see and interact with. Good front end design can help attract new customers, keep existing ones, and give your company a competitive advantage over legacy institutions.

Fintech companies in the US and Europe have found that providing customers with an exceptional experience is key to success. This has always been a differentiator between legacy institutions and modern fintechs but its importance has often been underestimated. Front end experiences remain the biggest success factor for many fintechs and are a blocker for others who have not managed to get it right.

A good front end solution must not only look nice but also deliver your brand message and interact with clients. It should be clear, intuitive, and responsive; furthermore, UX is directly connected to other pieces of the product such as back end APIs, business and compliance processes, marketing tactics, etc.
