The Brief

Barclaycard was taking an assertive approach to tackle the issues of Credit Card Fraud. The Design Office was tasked to work with the Barclaycard SID&V team to bring analysis and verification of the SIDV Program bringing:

​

• A fresh view on current assumptions and wider proposition to create for a viable future state. 

• Design Led process to champion Customer Experience for E2E journeys 

• Introducing the Project team to new trends, technologies, and capabilities that may add insights to business priorities 

My Role

I designed responsive interfaces for desktops and the MyBarclaycard Apps for Smart Phones. The full complement of UX practices were applied including detailed requirements gathering, analysis of data, reviewing the current processes and recommending enhancements via user journeys and prototyping potential new device agnostic solutions.
 

I also worked from a strategic perspective, designing possible future fintech advances, as part of a comprehensive Design Ideation that worked to try to resolve Barclaycard’s fraud losses that were disproportionate to their market share, especially in unrecoverable Card Not Present transactions (3D secure) and Account Takeover fraud.

The Work

As part of my role in the Design Office I had to demonstrate how new technologies, devices and trends were a better option for the future of Barclaycard and the new bankcard proposition was not a future proof  solution. We tested assumptions using Barclaycard BCA Axure Prototype (Access code: 123456).

Major Accomplishments
  • Seconded to Barclaycard’s Identity and Verification (ID&V) programme to review proposed new physical bankcard.

  • As part of my role in the Design Office we had to show new technologies, devices and trends can impact this new bankcard proposition

  • Using an ideation process and Persona approach we helped define the User experience and identify pain points and opportunities for the Project

  • Analysed user data and provided best practice feedback to senior level stakeholders

  • Identified inconsistencies with the programme’s proposition and saved Barclaycard £150m by cancelling the ill-conceived programme that Barclays had requested I carry out a strategic review on their behalf.

  • Worked with testing and onboarding teams to develop new digital, device agnostic solutions.
