Challenge

Riyad Bank sought to develop a next-generation mobile banking app that would deliver a seamless, intuitive, and efficient banking experience for customers in Saudi Arabia. With mobile banking adoption growing rapidly, ensuring a frictionless user journey was crucial for customer retention, trust, and engagement.

To prevent usability issues before launch, the bank invested in lab-based usability testing across four key stages over 12 months. As User Testing Lead, our role was to design, conduct, and analyze usability tests, including eye-tracking, to identify pain points before development.

Key business challenges included:

  • Optimizing user flows – enabling users to complete core banking tasks efficiently

  • Reducing cognitive load – designing an intuitive interface with clear navigation and minimal friction

  • Validating design decisions early – detecting usability issues before costly development

  • Enhancing security perception – ensuring users feel safe and in control of their banking experience

Approach

We conducted a structured usability research process, ensuring insights from each test session directly shaped design refinements. Over four rounds of testing, we analyzed user interactions with evolving prototypes and recommended key UX improvements before development.

Methodologies & Phases

Research plan & scenario preparation

We defined clear research objectives aligned with each phase of the app’s development, ensuring that every usability test delivered actionable insights:

  • Identified key banking workflows (e.g., fund transfers, bill payments, loan applications)

  • Designed real-world user scenarios to mirror authentic banking behaviors

  • Created a structured test script to ensure consistency in data collection
