Overview
A new experience in trading stocks
Selfwealth is one of Australia's most popular, low-cost online share trading platforms. Selfwealth offers the ability to buy & sell Australian, Hong Kong and US shares in the one place. They offer competitive low trading fees, with no other fees or hidden commissions. The Selfwealth brand has been steadily increasing over the past couple of years and will continue if they make the right decisions in product development and customer experience.
Problem
Selfwealth's app is currently facing a quality and Identity problem that is resulting in a 2.1/5 rating and customer frustration. These problems are leading to customers leaving to use competitor products thus decreasing revenue potential and growth for the company. It's an issue that needs to be overcome and we came in to solve that problem.

User Interviews
I conducted a survey with 15 users to get a better understanding of their pain points and needs. Understanding the real problems within the app will help us make decisive decisions in the updated experience. I researched existing customer feedback and pain points to gather real insights.
Pain points
01
Lack of Data and Analysis. A pain point amongst stock investing and trading is the ability to view decisive data and Analytics on that specific stock to make a confident investment. It's an additional feature that users appreciate.
02
Poor User Experience. A poor User Experience is often a main pain point amongst digital products. It can lead to frustration, confusion and cause dissatisfaction amongst your customer base. It's essential that you conduct research, survey and test with your real customers.
03
High Trading fees. It often seen in stock apps where business will have high trading fees. Over time these high fees accumulate and can be significant for customers. It's Important that you have a balance that meets the needs of your user base or else they will stop using your products all together.
04
Slow and Buggy. Development is the core element that makes or breaks a successful product. Investing in a strong engineering and development team can become one of the greatest investments you will make as a company. Slow and Buggy products will causes users to leave and more over to your competitors.
"I've used Selfwealth for several years now and I was hoping this app would solve some of my frustrations. It's too clunky, when there is an ASX release, I get no notifications, stock reports are very basic and lack substance."
User Review
"This new application we've been forced to use is extremely useless. It's not user friendly and takes me more than twice the time to derive information that I previously had to take. Extremely disappointed."
