Slashing Funnel Drop-off with +62% Verified Account Activation Lift
Corporate treasurers and importers were abandoning the registration flow due to a confusing 4-page identity verification form. We redesigned the UX with live fee transparency and instant document pre-validation.

The Critical Bottlenecks
What was holding the client back from achieving their target conversion rate and revenue goals:
Opaque Fee Breakdown Causing Distrust
Users could not see exact correspondent bank charges until step 4 of checkout, causing a 52% drop-off at the final confirmation screen.
Complex Multi-Screen Identity Uploads
Business verification was asking for 8 documents at once on desktop without auto-saving progress.
Mobile Usability Friction
Over 58% of target SME founders accessed the site on iOS devices, where standard form dropdowns lagged and glitched.
How We Re-Engineered the System
Decoupled architecture, performance optimization, and custom edge routing:
Dynamic Live FX Rate Engine & Fee Breakdown Component
Engineered a zero-latency interactive FX calculator component that transparently displays mid-market rates, exact fees, and estimated arrival times in real time.
Progressive Disclosure KYC Onboarding Flow
Chunked the 8-step verification process into 3 frictionless, auto-saving stages with instant client-side OCR pre-validation.
