Context

Koins is a traditional investment fund that decided to expand its offering into the digital space by launching a mobile application. The challenge was to translate a complex, trust-based financial product into a clear, accessible, and confidence-building digital experience for users with different investment goals and risk profiles.

The problem

Koins’ traditional investment products were difficult to translate into a digital experience that users could understand, trust, and confidently act on when making investment decisions.

This resulted in:

  • Financial concepts that felt complex and inaccessible for non-expert users
  • Poor clarity around product differences in returns, risk, and retention time
  • Low transparency when deciding how much to invest and for how long
  • High uncertainty and low confidence during digital investment decisions
  • Increased friction that could prevent users from completing their first investment

Goal

Design a clear, confidence-driven investment experience that helps users understand their options, make informed decisions, and invest according to their goals with transparency and trust.

Process & Key Decisions

Decision-first investment flows

Instead of focusing on products alone, flows were designed around user decisions: investment amount, expected return, and time horizon.

Clear product comparison

Investment options were structured to make differences in performance percentages and retention time easy to understand at a glance.

Investment simulator

A simulator was introduced to allow users to visualize potential outcomes before committing, reducing uncertainty and increasing confidence.

Goal-based personalization

Each investment can be associated with a specific user goal, helping users connect abstract financial products with real-life objectives.

Education as part of the experience

Educational articles and a glossary of terms were integrated into the app to support users throughout their learning and decision-making process.

Results & Impact

  • Users can clearly understand available investment options and outcomes before investing
  • Personalized investment paths aligned with individual goals
  • Reduced cognitive friction when navigating complex financial products
  • Increased user confidence through transparency and education

While quantitative adoption metrics were not available, the app was designed to support informed decision-making and long-term user trust.
