Webinar: Friction or flow? Designing digital journeys that build trust and meet the Consumer Duty

Beyond 'easy': Designing compliant digital journeys that truly support customers

Making digital journeys easy for customers seems a no-brainer. But what if frictionless isn't always best, especially for a customer in financial difficulty?

The Financial Conduct Authority's (FCA) recent research proves that small design choices in critical micro-journeys like setting up a payment plan or asking for help can have a huge impact on customer understanding and outcomes.

This webinar is a straightforward guide to designing digital experiences that are compliant and clearer, more supportive, and more successful for everyone.
