Cryptobay users primarily buy, sell, and withdraw crypto quickly—limiting long-term engagement. Many users wanted a structured way to save toward a target without actively trading.
Key Questions:
- How might we help users save with intent and discipline?
- How can we make savings feel rewarding and transparent?
- How do we stay consistent with Cryptobay's brand of speed and trust?
A new Crypto Savings Goals feature that bridges the gap between trading and long-term saving, helping users grow their holdings intentionally by letting them:
- Set a target — choose how much crypto they want to save
- Track progress — see visual growth toward their goal
- Top up anytime — keep adding to their savings easily
- Withdraw anytime — flexibility with clear visibility on yield
Each step in the user flow was optimized for clarity, motivation, and ease of use:
- Savings Goals Overview — Introduction and motivation to start saving.
- Create New Goal — Simple, step-by-step goal setup.
- Track Progress — Keeping users motivated with real-time growth indicators.
- Withdraw or Cash Out — Giving users quick access to their funds.
1. Create a Savings Goal
- Guided multi-step setup
- Smart suggestions for target and frequency
- Clean, form-first layout
2. Track Progress

3. Withdraw Flow

To transition traders into savers, every design decision was grounded in behavioral psychology and UX clarity:
| Focus | Design Choice | Reason |
|---|---|---|
| Simplicity | Multi-step setup | Makes it easy for first-time users to get started |
| Transparency | Show yield & fees upfront | Builds trust and reduces uncertainty |
| Motivation | Visual tracker & milestones | Encourages consistent saving behavior |
| Flexibility | Withdraw anytime | Matches Cryptobay brand promise of freedom & control |
| Consistency | Orange accent + softer gradient | Keeps brand recognition but feels fresh |
The visual language balances Cryptobay’s established trust and energy with fresh, engaging savings elements:
Dark Mode — Sleek, data-first visualization of savings streaks and active goals.
Feature Landing Page — Engaging marketing flow welcoming users to savings goals.
The savings feature was designed to shift Cryptobay's value from short-term trading to long-term holding. The following are projected outcomes based on how users behave in similar financial apps:
This is a visual exploration and product concept exploring habit-forming savings loops for crypto platforms.
- Increased User Retention — Long-term goals keep users coming back to check progress and deposit funds. Based on similar apps, savings features typically keep 15–25% more users active after 30 days.
- Higher Wallet Balances — Shifting active funds to savings increases the overall volume held on Cryptobay.
- Long-term Trust — Building a stronger perception of Cryptobay as a long-term wealth-building partner rather than a purely speculative venue.
- Consistent Engagement — Continuous micro-deposits, streak maintenance, and top-up schedules.
This project challenged me to think about financial behavior design—not just transactions, but motivation.
It taught me the importance of combining clarity, consistency, and trust in fintech design. Designing this feature was a delicate balance between simplicity and empowerment—giving users full control while keeping the experience light, guided, and rewarding.
