Complete redesign of the UP Sí Vale app: From a basic balance-check app to an active marketplace with over 1 million users impacted.
UP Sí Vale is a Mexican benefits platform serving corporate employees. The app showed balance, transactions, and a benefits section with zero segmentation.
Users accumulated electronic balance without spending it — not because they didn't want to, but because they didn't give them no reason or direction to act. A million potential active users were sitting idle.
We followed a structured process to ensure every design decision on the new strategy design.
Based on the innovation team research we identify two profiles as the main users of our mobile app and design personas for both of them.
We were convinced that we have a great added value and the potential to increase the engagement of the users. The first stop, was interviewing real users and making research qualitative an quantitative. The issues were clear:
They were just checking their balance monthly.
Users didn't know where to spend their money (lack of information).
The design had not recommended good practice of accessibility.
