Bradesco - International Account

INDUSTRY:

Banking / Fintech

COMPANY:

Bradesco Bank

ROLE:

Product Designer (UX Research, Strategy, UI)

summary.

Bradesco offers two international account products: MYA (My Account) and Bradesco Bank. Despite being distinct, users struggled to understand the difference between them. Many perceived MYA as just a debit card, not a full international account. This confusion led to drop-offs and hesitation during the onboarding journey.

I led UX research and co-designed a new experience focused on increasing clarity, surfacing key benefits earlier, and improving user decision-making — all while working within strict naming and structural constraints.

challenge.
  • Users didn’t understand what MYA was or how it differed from Bradesco Bank

  • Key benefits were buried deep in the flow and rarely accessed

  • The product comparison wasn’t visible or actionable

  • The team couldn’t rename or restructure either product

goal.
  • Clarify the value and purpose of each international account

  • Reduce friction and abandonment in the onboarding flow

  • Increase the success rate of account selection and openings

  • Enable confident, informed decision-making

solution.

We redesigned the international account selection experience to:

  • Bring account comparison upfront and above the fold

  • Label each product with contextual tags (“For Travelers” vs. “For Global Savers”)

  • Highlight key differences in fees, features, and benefits

  • Reinforce that users could open both accounts if needed

We validated the new flow through unmoderated usability tests with 84 participants. The new layout significantly outperformed the original carousel design.

result.
  • 54% direct success rate

  • 18% drop-off rate (down from 28%)

  • 83% of users found the comparison helpful

  • Improved user understanding of each product’s purpose and features

💡 What I Learned

This project reinforced how powerful low-code tools like Framer can be for small teams — enabling fast delivery without compromising on design quality. It was also a valuable exercise in designing with scalability and maintainability in mind, ensuring non-designers could easily manage the site moving forward.
