Global Fintech Modernization

The client’s product stack had grown across regions and teams — each with its own UI patterns, release cadence, and compliance requirements. The result: slow delivery, inconsistent experiences, and operational risk.

We led a modernization effort focused on a unified design system and a micro-frontend foundation — enabling teams to ship independently while preserving governance, accessibility, and audit readiness.

The Constraints

  • Fragmented UI Ecosystem

    Multiple products shipped with different components, patterns, and terminology — creating user confusion and rework.

  • Compliance-Heavy Workflows

    KYC/AML checks, approvals, and audit trails had to be visible and verifiable without slowing daily operations.

  • Performance + Latency

    Users worked across high-volume dashboards where slow rendering and heavy bundles directly impacted decision speed.

  • Cross-Team Release Independence

    Teams needed autonomy to ship features without breaking shared UI contracts or creating brand drift.

02

The Approach

Design System Governance

We created a unified component library with clear usage rules, accessibility standards, and versioned releases — turning UI into infrastructure rather than “screens.”

Micro-Frontend Foundation

We established a micro-frontend architecture so domain teams could deploy independently while sharing authentication, navigation, and the design system safely.

Compliance-First UX Patterns

We redesigned KYC/AML and approval flows around clarity and traceability — with structured decision states, audit-ready timelines, and error-proofed forms.

Performance Discipline

We reduced bundle weight through modular loading, shared UI primitives, and route-level optimization — improving responsiveness on data-heavy screens.
