Redesigning
banking for millions for ICICI Bank

We were first engaged to redesign the retail banking experience for ICICI Bank’s flagship app, iMobile Pay, bringing it in line with modern mobile standards. Since then, our work has expanded across retail banking—reimagining the experience while respecting the bank’s legacy, and ensuring ease of use for millions of users without disrupting habits built over time.

What ICICI Bank stands for

Redefining bank transfers and UPI payments

The most important part of iMobile was of course, the payment related pages. We remade the flow from the ground up, and introduced a lot of features into the process

Building blocks

It's easy to think of a design system as something that just helps you scale faster. It takes longer to see it for what it really is, the foundation everything else stands on. For an institution this size, getting that foundation right isn't routine work. It's a small number of teams anywhere that get to do it at all.

What makes this iMobile Pay’s
design system different

A complete relook
at Accounts & Deposits

When a product team asks for a template, they're not asking to skip design they're asking for the decision to be baked in, so the next team that picks this up ten screens later doesn't have to guess

Documentation and guidelines

Being able to communicate the design system is just as important as building a robust one

The reason a decision gets written down at the system level, rather than left as a one-off screen choice, is almost always because it happened once, got questioned, and needed an answer that could outlive the person who made it.

A design system's documentation isn't a style guide in the decorative sense. It's a record of arguments that were already had, so the next team doesn't have to have them again, and doesn't quietly undo them either.
