The Customer Journey · BMO Digital Experience

The BMO Customer Journey experience is a unification of BMO’s visual language and experience design patterns, with the goal of providing a cohesive experience to our customers, no matter which product or device they are using.

The use of a consistent tone of language, patterns, and components across projects and platforms aids in creating a consistent experience throughout.

New Account Opening Responsive Flow

For everyday banking and credit cards

For many people, their relationship with their bank begins with opening a chequing and/or savings account, or applying for a credit card. It is imperative that people experience a seamless experience regardless of the channel they begin with.

With the mobile and in-branch experiences updated to the new design language, it was time to revamp the online account opening experience. To provide a more modern experience, my team and I identified customer pain points within the old experience. From there, we undertook competitive research, tested a few concepts with customers, and iterated based on that feedback.

Objectives

For new customers
  • Move from an adaptive layout to a responsive layout.
  • Reduce number of clicks between steps by combining similar content.
  • Adjust the jarring transtion from opening an account to using the mobile app.
For existing customers
  • Move account opening for existing customers into the app.
  • Surface product information while keeping users in the same experience.
  • Simplify the application process using the new visual design language and UX patterns.
