Case study Fintech · Mobile banking Product design iOS & Android

A bank that fits in one hand.

BrixBank came to us with a name and an ambition. We left them with a complete mobile banking product — brand, interface, design system and a native app shipped on iOS and Android.

Brief to App Store
01 / The brief

Banking that feels human.

BrixBank wanted to reach a generation that has never set foot in a branch — people who expect their money to live on their phone, move in a tap, and never make them feel stupid.

The category looks intimidating. BrixBank wanted to feel like a partner.

So the brief wasn't really "build an app." It was: take everything heavy about banking — the jargon, the dense screens, the anxiety of hitting send on a payment — and make it feel light. We owned the whole arc: brand identity, product design, a reusable design system, and the native build.

  • P1No visual identity. A name, no logo, no system — every screen would have been a one-off.
  • P2Trust on a small screen. People hand a bank their money. The interface has to earn that in seconds.
  • P3Two platforms, one team. iOS and Android had to ship together, on a startup timeline and budget.

02 / The work

Four screens that carry the whole product.

Every flow ladders up to the same feeling — warm, certain, in control. Here's how that shows up in the moments that matter most.

BrixBank splash and get started screen
01 · Brand & first impression

A mark, a gradient, and a promise.

The identity starts with the "b" monogram — a stack of building blocks that reads as both a bank and a foundation. A warm orange-to-amber gradient does the emotional work that fintech usually leaves to cold blues.

  • Custom monogram, wordmark and app icon system
  • One sentence of positioning — "your partner in financial growth"
  • A single, unmissable Get Started path
BrixBank welcome and login screen
02 · Onboarding & trust

Sign-up that reassures as it asks.

The riskiest screen in any bank is the first form. We kept it to three fields, surfaced a plain-language security note right where doubt creeps in, and split log-in from sign-up so no one ever feels lost.

  • Three-field form, generous tap targets, no clutter
  • Inline security reassurance instead of fine print
  • Clear recovery path — never a dead end

03 · The dashboard

Your money, readable at a glance.

The home screen answers the only two questions that matter on open — how much do I have, and what just happened? A single balance card holds the four core actions; recent activity and offers sit calmly beneath it.

  • Balance card with Transfer, Withdraw, Deposit & Pay
  • Color-coded transactions — credit green, debit red
  • Persistent tab bar with a thumb-friendly action hub

04 · Payments & confirmation

The moment a payment lands.

We designed the confirmation as a receipt you'd actually keep — torn-paper edge, a big confident amount, both parties named, and a reference ID. The anxiety of "did it go through?" disappears before it starts.

  • Receipt-style success state with full transaction detail
  • From / To accounts shown explicitly, never ambiguous
  • Reference ID and timestamp for peace of mind
03 / The flow

Open, sign in, spend with confidence.

The five screens that take a new customer from first launch to their first completed payment.

04 / The system

Not screens — a system.

Everything ships as reusable tokens and components, so BrixBank's team can build the next fifty screens without us in the room.

A warm gradient ramp anchors the brand; a single deep neutral keeps body text and icons grounded. Two button styles and a status pill cover the entire app.

A single sans family scales from a hero balance down to a transaction reference — clear hierarchy, zero font-loading cost.

What it delivered.

4.8
Launch app-store rating

Across both stores in the first weeks — early users called it the clearest banking app they'd used.

Shipped together

iOS and Android launched on the same day from one cross-platform codebase, on budget.

Screens & components

A documented design system the BrixBank team now extends on their own.

Siznex didn't just hand us screens — they handed us a product and a system to keep building it. Our first users keep telling us it doesn't feel like a bank. That was exactly the point.
