The questions were divided into several areas – from basic behaviors and sources of information, through device preferences and the frequency of using currency exchange services, to potential earnings and comparisons with other applications. We spoke with users in environments that were natural and comfortable for them, which encouraged openness and authenticity in their responses.

For the usability testing phase, we used the Quant-UX tool, where we created a high-fidelity prototype based on the version provided by the client in Figma. Quant-UX allowed us to collect quantitative data on user interactions – including clicks, navigation paths, time spent on individual views, and task success rates.

The biggest issue with the Santander currency exchange service is a visibility on social media platforms, which are the primary channels used by the target audience. The tests confirmed that the application is well-designed, and users had no trouble completing the assigned tasks.

By the interviews, we were able to provide stakeholders with suggestions on methods and actions they could take to better reach younger audiences.
