Overview

This project focused on redesigning the Binance Card Mini App, transitioning it from a webview-based implementation to a native app experience.

As the product matured, the limitations of a webview approach became increasingly visible. While it allowed faster initial development, it constrained interaction quality, performance, and scalability. Given that Binance Card is a high-frequency payment feature used in everyday scenarios, improving the core experience became a necessary step rather than an optional enhancement.


Problem

Prior to the redesign, the product showed clear signs of friction:

  • The interface was visually dense, making key information harder to identify

  • Information hierarchy was unclear, especially in time-sensitive use cases

  • Webview-based interactions lacked responsiveness and native feedback

  • Engineering resources were limited, requiring careful prioritization

Although the CSAT score was 72.09%, user feedback indicated that the experience could be clearer, faster, and more predictable.


Solution

The redesign centered on simplifying structure and strengthening core flows, rather than adding new features.

  • Reorganized the interface to surface critical information, such as balance and recent activity, at first glance

  • Defined four core service pillars — balance, card management, transfers, and transactions — to guide layout and navigation decisions

  • Migrated key user flows to native components to improve performance and interaction feedback

  • Adopted a phased development approach to focus limited resources on high-impact improvements

Design decisions were grounded in real usage behavior, such as retaining a prominent card visual to reinforce confidence during in-store payments.

Takeaways

Improving foundational experiences often delivers more value than adding features

  • Small, focused changes can have meaningful impact at scale

  • Constraints help clarify priorities and sharpen decision-making

  • Strong UX emerges from aligning user needs, technical realities, and system consistency
