Onboarding Teardown

How to do an onboarding teardown?

Take screenshots of each page of the interface, note each interaction and user touchpoint, and assess based on user empathy:

  1. What is working well on the screen and why?
  2. What is not working and why?
  3. What changes/improvements do you suggest can be made? Why do you think that would be better?
  4. Where does the β€œaha” moment occur?
  5. Evaluate your onboarding on the cognitive biases.


First Screen:

  1. Doesn't sell the product in an eye catching manner. Why Mayura is not answered effectively?
  2. Doesn't inform the customer as to why those details are required?
  3. Could use the personalisation based on what creatives the person clicked to arrive on the page.
  4. Doesn't reinforce why the customer started the journey? Pain point highlight
  5. We are not priming the customer to be ready to reveal personal information to generate a credit card offer
  6. Progressive reveal: OTP is revealed after "Apply Now" but didn't prime for OTP
  7. CTA is basic, could be changed to try to make the customer envigorated

Second Screen:

  1. First thing is screen inconsistency. From Purple and grey to Orange and red.
  2. Doesn't explain to the user why these details are required
  3. Reasons to buy:
    1. Uses the space to talk about product features
    2. Customer testimonials as social proofing

image.png

Third Screen:

  1. Pop-up questions: Again no hand holding to explain why they need the info
  2. CTA can be personalised to say "generate my credit card"
  3. Priming user to be ready with ITR on income statement
    1. Could have been done better with an explanation

image.png

Fourth Screen:

  1. Personalisation based on name
  2. Reason to buy mentioned
  3. RTB should have been more animated or pictorial. It is getting overshadowed by the Joining fees, Annual fees, Credit limit
  4. Personalisation miss: User name could have been printed on credit card


image.png

Fifth Screen

  1. Progress bar finally comes in. Should have been milestone wise
  2. A simple * being used to mark necessary fields. Can be easily missed

image.png

Sixth Screen:

  1. The fields are too big. Instead of address field, could have used Google Maps to auto-fill
  2. Nature of business and Type of industry should be auto-filled

image.png

Seventh Screen

  1. These two screens could have been merged.
  2. UPI consent is a cross-sell. No priming was done. Features benefit could have been better sold
  3. T&C looks very intimidating

image.pngimage.pngimage.png

Eight Screen

  1. VKYC screen wasn't required. User could have been taken directly.
  2. A pop-up would have done the job with required documents
