Is one of RappiCard’s most critical lending products, primarily used in emergency scenarios where users need immediate liquidity. Despite strong product–market fit and a differentiated value proposition (instant transfer to external CLABE accounts),

The flow showed a significant drop in conversion over time. In the last year, end-to-end conversion had declined, with major friction concentrated in the onboarding and simulator steps.

The goal of this project was to redesign the end-to-end experience to increase conversion, improve decision clarity, and reinforce the product’s core promise: fast, reliable access to cash when it matters most.

Key Takeaways

  • Users choose card advance primarily as an emergency solution; speed and certainty outweigh exploration.



  • Financial decisions are delayed or abandoned when critical information (rate, monthly payment, total cost) is revealed too late.



  • Precision beats interaction: text inputs and explicit options outperform sliders for high-stakes decisions.



  • Urgency is effective when grounded in real constraints (offer validity, rate discounts), not artificial pressure.

Interaction by urgency window (days remaining vs. last hours).

Recovery of conversion

Increased

Recovery of conversion losses observed in the last year.

Learning &
growth

This project strengthened my ability to design at the intersection of UX, business metrics, and risk-sensitive financial products. I deepened my experience translating qualitative research and quantitative funnel data into concrete UI decisions, especially around urgency, trust, and financial clarity.

I also learned to challenge visually appealing patterns (such as sliders) when data and user behavior proved they were counterproductive, prioritizing precision and confidence over aesthetic novelty.
