Global Credit Services Company

Experience strategy and process discovery for modernizing the credit application journey, from eligibility checks through approval and card activation.

Role: Product Experience Lead

The Situation

Legacy systems, manual workflows, and cross-channel touchpoints slowed a credit application process that needed to become digital without compromising the judgment and controls the business depended on. Multiple internal teams owned different parts of a journey that applicants experienced as one.

How I Worked

  • Began with a comprehensive analysis of the legacy systems, manual workflows, and every channel involved in the application process.
  • Mapped the end-to-end journey, from eligibility and approval through activation, including the handoffs between each stage.
  • Used those insights to design a streamlined digital workflow that the organization could realistically implement and operate.
  • Kept experience strategy closely connected to the business units responsible for adopting and sustaining the new process.

What Followed

The engagement produced a clearer picture of the current state and a designed path to a modern application experience, one that treated the applicant journey as a single product, not a chain of departmental systems.
