ABOUT THE TOPIC

The financial industry is a growing sector for UX work. Nearly everyone interacts with financial institutions on a daily basis so delivering a quality user experience is paramount for everyone’s peace of mind.

• The major factors people use to determine which financial institutions to conduct business with
• The effects of the 2008 recession on consumers’ perception of the industry
• How UX design can encourage healthier personal finance habits
• How UX activities could address the student loan crisis
