Two iF Design Awards 2022 Makes UXDA the Most Awarded Fintech UX Design Agency

We can't even begin to describe the feeling of receiving this exciting news today! UXDA is the winner of this year’s iF Design Awards, and, to our surprise, not only one but TWO of our designs have won the most recognized prize in product and service design! Along with over a dozen previously received international awards, this makes UXDA the most awarded digital financial products design agency.

Each year, the world’s oldest independent design organization, Hannover-based iF International Forum Design GmbH, organizes the most famous and prestigious iF Design Award. For 68 years, this award has honored outstanding innovations in product design across the planet.

This year, purpose-driven financial UX design by UXDA won two IF Design Awards for a Kids Banking mobile app and Goalry Money Mall digital platform.

Alex Kreger, UXDA founder said, "This amazing award perfectly shows the power of purpose-driven design. Its impact is obvious to everyone. Such a design can add value and help people, but it requires much more effort and investment than usual."

Being recognized for the best Kids Banking app design is a great example of how human-centered financial service can make life easier for parents, reduce conflicts in the family and teach your children about modern digital finance and discipline in a fun, playful way. The impact of banking services on our lives is enormous, so why not make it positive? Check out our Kids Banking case study here.

Also being acknowledged for the Goalry Money Mall is a great accomplishment. The financial project brings forth a financial service based on the mall experience, so users can explore different “shops” in a digital platform, accessible through desktop and mobile. It frees financial customers from complexity and fear caused by outdated financial solutions. The social community encourages user goals on the first floor; education possibilities with experts and tutorials available on the second; and, on the third floor, finance stores for bills, insurance, taxes, investments, etc.

Both of UXDA's designed products won over the 132-member jury, made up of independent experts from all over the world, with its purpose-driven financial UX design.

Linda Zaikovska-Daukste, UXDA co-founder said, “For any product designer, the iF Design Award is the highest professional recognition from the experienced jury of design experts. Therefore, our achievement shows that, in the financial industry, there are more and more products that deliver a customer experience comparable with the best-in-class products of the world's famous brands.”

The competition was immensely intense. Almost 11,000 entries were submitted from 57 countries in hopes of receiving the seal of quality. The iF Award logo is often seen on the packaging and advertising of the world's largest brands and has become a recognized quality seal around the world.

Among this year’s winners of the iF Design Awards 2022 are the product designs from leading brands, such as Apple, Google, Microsoft, Sony, Canon, HTC, Bugatti, Bang & Olufsen, Ferrari, BMW, Braun, Lenovo, BenQ, Panasonic, Hyundai, Samsung, LG, Fujifilm, Philips, Harman Kardon and Lexus.
