Deutsche Bildung | A web app for online loan taking

Deutsche Bildung entrusted us with their project to create a student loan web app. The client's main goal was to boost online loan applications and support student success as they embarked on their careers. Initially, the client had an unintuitive form for loan-taking that failed to generate significant interest. To improve conversion rates, we prioritised designing a user-friendly, intuitive, and mobile-ready form.

The design was created by an external agency. But as the User Experience was crucial for students to successfully complete the form, we made adjustments to make it more intuitive. Once the design was ready, we focused on building the front-end solution, without incorporating a database or login functionality. After providing the form, we started to build additional features. We had a tight deadline because the client was switching off their old systems, which required this new one to work properly. Until the end of 2022, we worked in close cooperation with Distology Studios, and since 2023 we're solely responsible for the project. It was possible because we proved our trustworthiness, skills and transparency during the previous cooperation.

We’ve created a loan-taking web app that is secure and compliant with GDPR regulations but, at the same time, remains user-friendly and intuitive. We have developed several solutions, including a visually appealing and mobile-friendly system of forms, notifications to remind students to complete partially filled forms, ID verification through IDnow, online agreement signing with editable document formats integration, secure passwordless login using Cognito, easy content management with Contentful, and a career counseling portal with supportive articles, images, and videos for students.
