Challenge

Many individuals in Saudi Arabia, particularly those working in companies without bank agreements, face limited access to personal loans due to restrictive eligibility criteria and high-interest rates from the few available options. Additionally, existing digital loan solutions often lack transparency, reliability, and seamless user experiences, leading to frustration, distrust, and drop-offs in the application process.


Goal

To develop a fully digital, accessible, and user-friendly cash financing app that empowers users to secure loans effortlessly while ensuring clear eligibility criteria, transparent fees, real-time status updates, and a smooth application journey.


Strategy

By leveraging user-centered design and the design thinking framework, we will conduct in-depth user research, competitive analysis, and iterative testing to create an intuitive, secure, and efficient platform. Our approach will focus on removing application barriers, enhancing transparency, and delivering a frictionless experience that builds trust and meets the financial needs of underserved users.
